Midday meeting: Byggjum fyrir fólk (Build for people) 22/01/2026 Nearly all our time is spent inside or near buildings, making them an essential part of our lives. Lately, the impact of the built environment on our health has garnered increasing attention, and the inquiry into how we can enhance buildings to support our physical and mental well-being has been widely discussed among many in Iceland. At the same time, we also aim to improve the construction's environmental impact. Can these two elements work together? This and other questions were answered at the event in the Nordic House on Thursday January 22nd at 15:00-16:30. The moderator opened the event, followed by a short talk from Andri Snær Magnason. Then an introduction to a European initiative aiming to integrate environmental sustainability with the well-being of built environment users - New European Bauhaus - and its potential to address certain challenges we encounter in Iceland. A panel discussion on the cultural, social, and environmental dimensions of the built environment and how we can combine them followed. The event garnered a lot of interest and over 200 people attended both in person and online. A recording from the event can be found below. Agenda : 1. Opening of the event 2.

Information on Byggjum grænni framtíð (Let's build greener future - Icelandic roadmap to sustainable construction). Byggjum grænni framtíð - Roadmap towards sustainable construction Following Iceland's climate action plan , the public road map towards sustainable construction was introduced as a result of a joint project between the government and construction sector stakeholders (Byggjum grænni framtíð - Let's build a greener future), including the Green Building Council Iceland. The road map includes goals and a set of actions to reduce the carbon emissions of construction activities. The actions are divided into six main categories: Building materials. Construction stage. Building use stage. End of life stage. Planning and design. Incentives and other means to encourage change. The project management board consists of representatives from the Green Building Council Iceland, the Industry Association , the Road Administration , the Environment Agency , the Union of Icelandic Municipalities , the Ministry of Social Affairs, and the Housing and Construction Authority (HMS). Elín Þórólfsdóttir from HMS is the project manager. More information can be found on the BGF website .

2025 2024 2023 2022 Græna Skóflan The Green Shovel is an award for buildings that have been built with outstanding environmental and sustainable values. Information about the award itself and the award winners can be found here. Græna Skóflan - The Green Shovel The Green Shovel Award The Green Shovel Award was awarded for the first time on Green Building Day 2022. It is a recognition of a structure that has been built with an excellent ecological and sustainable focus. The award has its roots in action 6.9. in the Roadmap to Green Building Construction 2030 (6.9. í Vegvísi að vistvænni mannvirkjagerð 2030 - in Icelandic): About the Award In winter 2021, a competition took place among the students of the Iceland University of the Arts (Listaháskóli Íslands) to design the trophy. Hekla Dís Pálsdóttir won that competition, and the trophy was based on her design. In 2022, the trophy was made of Icelandic graystone. Arngrímur Guðmundsson was in charge of preparing working drawings, Steinsmiðjan was in charge of cutting the graystone, and Stálnaust did the water-cutting. The Green Shovel for Renovations In fall 2025, a call for nominations for a new award called The Green Shovel for Renovations was sent out for the first time. The Green Shovel for Renovation is a recognition for buildings that have been renovated with an excellent ecological and sustainable focus, to promote the renovation of existing structures. Renovation projects that have truly demonstrated an environmentally friendly impact upon completion will receive higher weight. 2025 Nominations for The Green Shovel were open from early August to early September. This year, nominations were received for numerous outstanding projects that required careful and detailed review by the jury. The jury was composed of the board of GBCI, and the awards were presented on GBCI day on October 8th. One of the main focuses of the jury this year was that the project demonstrated clear innovation, how it is possible to step beyond traditional solutions and thus shed light on what is possible when creative thinking and implementation go hand in hand. The holders of both awards, The Green Shovel and The Green Shovel for Renovation, are strong examples that can serve as encouragement and inspiration for other future projects. The Green Shovel 2025 The jury's conclusion states about the building: The project demonstrated that even within the current regulatory and legal environment, it is easy to reduce the carbon footprint and reuse various building materials in parallel with universal design principles in a successful way. Compared to a comparable building, Háteigsvegur's carbon footprint is 50 percent lower. Háteigsvegur emphasizes accessibility for all, cost-effectiveness, the use of high-quality and healthy materials, as well as creating a homely environment. The building that received The Green Shovel for 2025 is Háteigsvegur 59. Háteigsvegur 59 is owned by Félagsbústaðir. The following parties were involved in design and execution: →Architect/Head designer: Arnhildur Pálmadóttir, s. ap arkitektar →Fire safety: Örugg verkfræðistofa →Structural design: HANNA verk verkfræðistofa →Utilities design: Varmboði →Electrical installation design: Verkhönnun →Project owner: Félagsbústaðir →Inspection: VSB verkfræðistofa →: Vinahús ehf. → LCA and LCC: VSÓ Ráðgjöf Project partners in material development and reuse are BM Vallá , Gluggagerðin , SSJ Steinsmiðja/ Grafa og grjót , Egill Árnason/Junckers parkett and Húsasmiðjan . More on H59 The Green Shovel for Renovations 2025 The jury's conclusion states about the building: Menningarleg og söguleg þýðing þessa mannvirkis sameinast framtíðarsýn, þegar horft er til umhverfislegra þátta sjálfbærnis og má þá nefna atriði eins og að endurnýta eins mörg byggingarefni og hluti og hægt er en núverandi burðavirki er frá 1957, hanna bygginguna þannig að auðvelt sé að taka hana niður, velja heilnæm og endurvinnanleg efni og einnig að hugsa um að draga úr orkufari í allri notkun byggingarinnar. Mannvirkið se m hlaut Grænu skófluna fyrir endurbætur árið 2025 er Stöng í Þjórsárdal. Stöng er í eigu Minjastofnunar Að hönnun og framkvæmd stóðu eftirtaldir aðilar: →Arkitekt/Aðalhönnuður: SP(R)INT STUDIO →Burðarþolshönnun: VSB Verkfræðistofa →Landslagshönnun: SP(R)INT STUDIO →Verkkaupi: Minjastofnun →Framkvæmd endurbóta : Langeldur →Umsjón framkvæmdar : FSRE Meira um Stöng 2024 Opið var fyrir tilnefningar mannvirkja til Grænu Skóflunnar frá maí og fram í miðjan ágúst. Í ár voru mörg afburðagóð verkefni tilnefnd og krafðist mikillar gaumgæfni dómnefndar. Það gefur góða tilfinningu að sjá natni hönnuða, framkvæmdaraðila og verkkaupa aukast með hverju árinu að þessu leyti. Dómnefnd var skipuð stjórn Grænni byggðar, og voru verðlaunin veitt á Degi Grænni byggðar þann 25. september. Vistvæn mannvirkjagerð er margbrotin og að mörgu að hyggja. Áhersla á lækkun kolefnisspors byggingar var í ákveðnum forgangi hjá dómnefnd, en einnig var tekið mikið tillit til samfélagslegra áhrifa mannvirkisins. Í niðurstöðu dómnefndar segir um mannvirkið: Mannvirkið ber með sér vandaða hönnun og samræmingu allra sem að verkinu koma. Hún gefur sterka tilfinningu fyrir mannlegum skala og næmni gagnvart notandanum. Vellíðan notandans er hér í fyrirrúmi auk þess sem efnisval og meðhöndlun þess er unnin á forsendum umhverfisins og arkitektónískrar fagurfræði. Byggingin er vottuð af Svaninum - Norræna umhverfismerkinu sem einnig er hvatning til annarra hönnuða að nýta sér, til aukinnar vistvæni. Niðurstaðan var einhlít þó svo að mjótt væri á munum Mannvirkið se m hlaut Grænu skófluna árið 2024 er Urriðaból - leikskóli í Garðabæ Urriðaból er í eigu Garðabæjar. Að hönnun og framkvæmd stóðu eftirtaldir aðilar: →Arkitekt/Aðalhönnuður: HJARK → Arkitekt: Sastudio →Burðarþolshönnun: Exa nordic →Lagnahönnun: Teknik →Raflagnahönnun: Lota →Hljóðvistarhönnun: Myrra →Landslagshönnun: Teiknistofa Norðurlands →Verkkaupi: Garðabær →Verktaki: Þarfaþing →Eftirlit: Strendingur → Aðalverktaki: Eykt ehf. Hönnunargögn og lýsing 2023 Opið var fyrir tilnefningar mannvirkja til Grænu Skóflunnar frá því í lok apríl til 15. ágúst. Mörg framúrskarandi verkefni voru tilnefnd í ár, og voru mannvirkin fjölbreytt, allt frá stórum stofnunum til tilraunakenndra smáhýsa. Dómnefnd var skipuð stjórn Grænni byggðar, og voru verðlaunin veitt á Degi Grænni byggðar í lok september. Í niðurstöðu dómnefndar segir um mannvirkið: Þessi bygging bar af. Allt frá upphafi markaðist hönnun mannvirkisins af sjálfbærni, hvort sem litið er til framkvæmda- eða rekstrartíma. Áhersla var lögð á efnisval, innivist, orkumál og góða umhverfisstjórnun. Lífsferilsgreiningar og líftímakostnaðargreiningar voru notaðar við ákvarðanatöku í hönnun. Dagsbirtugreiningar voru framkvæmdar ásamt hljóðvistagreiningum. Sem dæmi má nefna að hljóðverkfræðingur skoðaði sérstaklega kröfur um hljóðvist fyrir notendur með sérstakar heyrnar- og samskiptaþarfir. Segja má að einstakur metnaður hafi verið lagður í að tryggja vellíðan vistmanna samhliða því að draga úr neikvæðum umhverfisáhrifum byggingarinnar. Það var mikill samrómur innan dómnefndar og ég held að við séum sammála um að hér sé á ferðinni verkefni sem sýnir: • Framúrskarandi hönnun • Fer lengra en að uppfylla bara skilyrði • Setur ný viðmið fyrir aðbúnað hjúkrunarheimila með vistvænum áherslum • Tryggir samfélagslega sjálfbærni Mannvirkið se m hlaut Grænu skófluna árið 2023 er Móberg - hjúkrunarheimili í Árborg. Móberg er í eigu Sveitarfélagsins Árborg og Heilbrigðisráðu neytisins, og er rekið af HSU. Að hönnun og framkvæmd stóðu eftirtaldir aðilar: → Umsjón hönnunar og framkvæmda: FSRE → Arkitektar: Urban arkitektar ehf. og Loop Architects (DK) → Verkfræðihönnun: Verkfræðistofa Reykjavíkur ehf. → Rafkerfahönnun: Liska ehf. → Ljósvistarhönnun: Liska ehf. → Brunahönnun: Mannvit hf. → Landslag: Hornsteinar arkitektar ehf. → Hljóðhönnun: Brekke Strand (NO) → BREEAM: EFLA hf. → Algild hönnun og ráðgjöf: Harpa Cilia Ingólfsdóttir → Aðalverktaki: Eykt ehf. Hönnunargögn og lýsing 2022 Early this summer, the nominations for the award were opened. Numerous nominations were received from various sources across the country, and the nominations spanned a very wide range of civil engineering, from smaller bridge projects, single-family houses and extensions, to large-scale service facilities and apartment buildings. After a review by a jury, which, this time, was made up of the board of Green Building Council Iceland, one structure was chosen to receive the prize. The jury felt this project stood out quite a bit in many areas. What the jury's verdict said about the structure: During the preparation of the structure, care has been taken in setting goals for the project, both in terms of the social activities that the structure accommodates and the specifications that should be included in its design. When solving the design, a life cycle analysis (LCA) was used for the structure as a whole, which supports the credibility that the building is environmentally friendly and prevents greenwashing. A comparison of the environmental impact of building materials was also made, and the designers' choice of materials was based on its results, which shapes the building's overall and natural appearance. The construction instructions and the project's goals were reflected in the contractor's work and the owner's follow-up with BREEAM certification of design and construction will confirm how the project's sustainability goals will be achieved. The project was a renovation of an older building, where every effort was made to make the best use of the existing concrete structure. This ensured that the construction process was easier than otherwise and prevented the unnecessary production and transportation of new building materials. As such, the building is a worthy model for future reconstructions of older structures. The structure that received the Green Shovel in 2022 is the Brákarborg preschool in Reykjavík at Kleppsvegi 150-152. Brákarborg is owned by the City of Reykjavík . The following parties were responsible for the design and implementation: → Arkís arkitektar ehf. ; → Efla hf. supervised the life cycle analyses (LCA); → Arkamon ehf. was in charge of structural design; → Teknik verkfræðistofa ehf. designed the piping; → Liska ehf. designed the electrical system and lighting; → Kanon arkitektar ehf. were in charge of landscape design; → fire design was in the hand of Mannvit hf. ; → the contractor was Þarfaþing hf. ; → BREEAM certification was under the supervision of Verkís hf.
