The Tiny House Association has published the revised industry standard 'Small Building' (June 2026 edition). The guideline, known as the 'Tiny House Standard', describes the current state of the art for planning, manufacturing and evaluating small buildings. The main innovation is the division into two parts: Part 1 covers requirements for construction, technical building equipment, product ecology and conformity assessment; Part 2 covers living quality, indoor air hygiene and building biology requirements. Manufacturers can check product compliance during the planning phase, reducing later adjustments and costs. New definitions for modular houses and series construction have been added; for series products, conformity assessment can be based on a representative sample. The standard includes differentiated requirements for the energy assessment of transportable small buildings. It is available in print and PDF for EUR 69.
