Iceland's new 2025 LCA regulations

Iceland's new regulation, effective September 1, 2025, mandates life-cycle assessments (LCAs) for most new building permits. One Click LCA has partnered with Iceland's Housing and Construction Authorit (HMS) to provide a digital solution compliant with these regulations. Key points:

  • Mandatory LCA: New building permits must include LCA calculations, except for storage facilities, agricultural buildings, summerhouses, and extensions.
  • Climate impact focus: The regulations target the climate change impacts of buildings by assessing their environmental footprint across their lifecycle.
  • Transitional period: A transitional period is set to ease the implementation of LCA requirements, allowing stakeholders to familiarize with the process.

Features

Compliance made easy with Icelandic LCA tool

  • Use environmental product regulations (EPDs) or national databases to cover all materials in your project. The tool enables EPDs aligned with the EN 15804 standard and Finnish, Swedish, and German databases.
  • Automate 25% safety top-up factor in generic databases to match other Nordic standards for material carbon impacts.
  • Use default values for whole lifecycle assessments early on by inputting material data for automatic calculations of stages A4, A5, B6, and C1-C4, or input your own transport data.
  • Access Icelandic generic emission values for building systems and energy consumption per building area.
  • Report emissions per m² of reference area annually over a 50-year period.
