The working group for contemporary building e. V. (ARGE // eV) is the housing construction institute of the state of Schleswig-Holstein , a building research institute of the Federal Republic of Germany recognized by the federal government since 1950 and a competence network for the building industry. In addition, the ARGE // eV is active as an institute for applied building research, quality control and building and housing advice, with a focus on Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg and northern Germany. The focus of their activities is carried out on behalf of the public. The statutory tasks of ARGE // eV are non-profit .
Foundation and history
The association was founded in 1946 to develop, test and introduce new building methods and building materials, as well as to carry out and support trial and comparison buildings. Right from the start, this included research into and promotion of earth building and (for decades) organized group self-help in housing construction . Later there were other priorities, such as the support and evaluation of the demonstrative building projects of the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Schleswig-Holstein in the area of housing and urban development. With the resolution of the Conference of Ministers of Construction of the German States of 1949 and confirmation by the Federal Government in 1950 with admission to the Advisory Board for Building Research at the Federal Minister for Housing, the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Zeitgenösses Bauen e. V. recognized and commissioned as an institute for building research and the support of demonstrative building projects in the Federal Republic of Germany.
From the beginning of its activity, the ARGE has regularly developed and published type buildings , sample floor plans and execution details, including with the corresponding type approval . These served as the basis for social housing promotion in rental housing, but also for the creation of (residential) property z. B. in small housing estates and for cost and process optimization in residential construction in general.
On the basis of the type planning of the ARGE // eV (and accompanied and evaluated by the ARGE // eV), the first systematic (to this day largest ) was carried out in Schleswig-Holstein to revive housing construction and create the necessary living space for refugees and displaced persons ) Uniform and centrally controlled housing construction program in West Germany after the war, the ERP special program " Construction of 10,000 refugee apartments " implemented on the initiative of the German trade unions . The foundation stone of the special program was laid on March 5, 1950 by Hans Böckler , who died on February 16, 1951 , in the settlement later named after him (" Böcklersiedlung ") in Neumünster as the largest single building project of the special program. The laying of the foundation stone for this first project of the special program on the large construction site in Neumünster is therefore considered to be the structural beginning of systematic social housing construction in the Federal Republic of Germany after the Second World War.
Statute and public mandate
The statutory tasks are: rationalization in the building industry , applied building research and settlement research, research and testing of contemporary and innovative building materials and construction types, advice and practical training, evaluation of test and comparison buildings, research and test results in publications and lectures. The focus is on economic and sustainable construction, planning and housing advice and also on the organization of advanced training (including) in the field of construction technology .
The working group for contemporary building eV pursues exclusively and directly charitable purposes within the meaning of the tax code . The ARGE is selflessly active; it is not primarily for economic purposes.
In 1972 the Ministry of the Interior of Schleswig-Holstein recognized it as a rationalization institute for subsidized housing construction . The ARGE is an institute for building and housing advice in Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg and in other parts of northern Germany with activities at national and international level and a network for innovative building and technical and structural-social communication, applied building research and project development.
The consortium is a publicly recognized institute for the certification of efficiency stores of different energy and / or sustainable standards, such as low-energy houses and passive houses , and issues appropriate seal, such as the " quality pass Schleswig-Holstein ".
The association has been continuously evaluating construction costs since 1947 and maintains a construction cost index to assess the development of costs in the construction industry, especially in residential construction.
membership
The approximately 460 largely institutional members are architects and engineers, lawyers, the housing companies in Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, municipalities and districts, the construction industry and the associations of the construction and housing industry across Germany, the construction industry and building materials industry, the tenants' association , the consumer center , the Schleswig-Holstein Investment Bank .
Board
The right to make proposals for the eleven-member board of the consortium for contemporary construction have the Ministry of the Interior of the State of Schleswig-Holstein, the Schleswig-Holstein Investment Bank , the Schleswig-Holstein Building Trade Association , the Schleswig-Holstein Building Industry Association , the Association of North German Housing Companies , the Federal Association of Independent Real Estate and Housing Companies , the Schleswig-Holstein Chamber of Architects and Engineers , the Association of Consulting Engineers , the associations of the building materials industry and the private housing industry ( Haus & Grund , Deutscher Siedlerbund / Verband Wohneigentum ).
tasks
The ARGE advises, accompanies and certifies construction projects in terms of construction, technology and energy. In the last 20 years z. B. over 80,000 residential units and buildings in particular the low-energy house standard of the state of Schleswig-Holstein (20% or 30% undercut of the requirements according to EnEV - defined by the ARGE in cooperation with the state government of Schleswig-Holstein), but also z. B. approx. 100 passive houses and WE are accompanied, looked after and certified by the ARGE. The definition of the NEH standard also applies to special funding for modernization projects.
An extensive database is kept on building costs and building prices. The association is a member of the steering committee of the German Institute for Standardization ( DIN) for the construction industry and construction-related evaluation of construction projects .
The association has been publishing specialist publications in several series without interruption since 1947: “Building in Schleswig-Holstein” and “Mitteilungshefte der Arbeitsgemeinschaft für zeitweisees Bauen e. V. ”,“ worksheets and information sheets ”as well as numerous project documentation on energy-efficient construction or energy-efficient building modernization.

Network of innovative insulation technologies
As part of this network, research knowledge about innovative thermal insulation is to be integrated into university and craft training. In addition, efforts are being made to make this knowledge available to the general public.
Topics in the network are e.g. B. Earth building in new buildings and in the renovation of old buildings, insulating materials from renewable raw materials , building with wood and vacuum insulation technology , use of PC materials ( phase-change materials ).
