To improve and ease the appropriate and correct use of clay and earth
as a building material and to ensure the ecological quality of this
building material is respected the Dachverband Lehm e.V. published
the “Lehmbau Regeln” in 1999, the first technical building
regulations for building with clay and earth in the European Union.
For the first time since 1971, when then previous relevant DIN regulations
were withdrawn, regulations detailing concrete construction guidelines
for building with earth now exist. The Fachkommission Baunormung,
the expert panel of the cooperative ARGEBAU, has included the “Lehmbau
Regeln” in the list of recognised model technical building
regulations. The project is supported by the Federal German Environmental
Foundation. |
