About the livestream

Join us for an informative livestream showcasing One Click LCA's new Icelandic LCA tool. This solution is designed to make sustainable design more accessible and efficient in Iceland.

Developed in collaboration with HMS (Húsnæðis- og mannvirkjastofnun), this tool fully complies with the forthcoming life-cycle assessment (LCA) regulations set to take effect in September 2025. These regulations will mandate life-cycle assessments for a significant portion of new building permits, marking a pivotal shift in Iceland's approach to sustainable construction.

The webinar will be in English.

With HMS, we will talk about:

  • Understanding life-cycle assessment (LCA): A look into what LCA entails and its significance in modern design and construction.
  • Regulatory landscape: Get insights into the upcoming 2025 regulations affecting sustainable construction.
  • HMS & One Click LCA collaboration: The journey so far and future outlook
  • Live demonstration: See the Icelandic LCA Tool in action.
  • Question & answer: Ask your questions directly to HMS and One Click LCA’s LCA expert.
