Sustainability of Structures
Sustainability is our business.
With its experience and knowledge, Verkís can offer
comprehensive consultation that ensures that the results are in line with the client’s goals.
We consider three factors:
Environmentally-friendly design: To offset the environmental impact of a structure over its lifetime
Life cycle cost analysis: To reduce waste and increase the operational efficiency of the structure
Social analytics: To maintain the safety and comfort of users without affecting the environment and finances.
One of the main aspects of consultancy in the field of sustainability of structures is to provide information to clients on how these three factors are connected and influence each other.
The analyses are based on life cycle thinking, which includes looking at the environmental, financial, and social impacts of the preparation, construction, use, maintenance, and demolition of structures during their entire life cycle.
Verkís is a founding member of Grænni byggð, which is a platform for companies, institutions, and researchers for sustainable development in construction.
Verkís’ experts want to help you reduce the carbon footprint of buildings.

Structural Sustainability
Verkís supports clients in designing sustainable structures through efficient use of materials, low-carbon design strategies, and lifecycle-based decision-making. Our specialists help optimise structural systems to reduce embodied carbon, improve resource efficiency, and ensure long-term resilience and value for buildings and infrastructure projects.
Design management and certification process
We provide design management and certification support to help projects meet sustainability, quality, and regulatory requirements. Our specialists coordinate multidisciplinary teams, manage certification processes, and ensure that project objectives are effectively integrated throughout planning, design, and delivery.
Piping, ventilation and selecting building materials
We provide integrated consulting on piping, ventilation, and building material selection to support sustainable, healthy, and efficient buildings. Our specialists help optimise system performance, indoor environmental quality, and material choices to enhance durability, energy efficiency, and long-term building performance.
Energy savings, acoustics and traffic planning
We provide integrated assessments of energy use, acoustics, and traffic conditions to support sustainable and efficient developments. Our specialists identify opportunities to improve environmental performance, user comfort, and mobility while helping projects meet regulatory and sustainability objectives.
Lighting and daylight analysis
We provide lighting and daylight analysis to create comfortable, functional, and energy-efficient environments. Our specialists assess natural and artificial lighting conditions to optimise visual comfort, occupant wellbeing, energy performance, and the overall quality of buildings and outdoor spaces.
Maintenance plans and maintenance analyses
We develop maintenance plans and perform maintenance analyses to support the long-term performance, reliability, and value of buildings and infrastructure. Our specialists assess asset conditions, identify maintenance needs, and provide strategies that optimise lifecycle costs and support effective asset management.
Waste management and pollution prevention
We provide waste management and pollution prevention strategies that support sustainable construction and development. Our specialists help reduce environmental impacts through efficient resource management, waste reduction measures, and solutions that minimise pollution risks throughout the project lifecycle.
Life cycle assessment (LCA)
We conduct life cycle assessments (LCA) to evaluate the environmental impacts of buildings, materials, and infrastructure throughout their lifecycle. Our specialists provide data-driven insights that support sustainable decision-making, carbon reduction strategies, and improved environmental performance.
Life cycle cost analysis
We perform life cycle cost analyses to evaluate the total costs of assets and systems over their entire lifespan. Our specialists assess investment, operation, maintenance, and replacement costs to support cost-effective decisions and optimise long-term value and performance.
Social analytics
We provide social analytics to help assess how projects may affect communities, stakeholders, and quality of life. Our specialists analyse social impacts, identify opportunities and challenges, and deliver insights that support informed decision-making and sustainable development outcomes.
