Emissions:

5,379 metric tons of CO₂-equivalent

Responsible party:

Housing and Construction Authority (HMS), Green Building Council Iceland, and Reykjavík City

Description:

The goal is to reduce emissions from fossil fuels on construction sites. This will be achieved by introducing alternative energy sources, such as electricity and biodiesel.

The action includes revising the planning process to better meet infrastructure needs and encouraging stakeholders to invest in technology through financial incentives.

To support this effort, a roadmap for greener construction was created, providing specific actions and resources to support the operation of fossil fuel-free construction sites.
