10 Steps Toward Real Emissions Reductions in Construction Projects

Thursday, September 24, 2026

The greatest reductions in emissions are often achieved long before materials are ordered. In this webinar, we’ll present ten concrete steps that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions in construction projects, and you’ll gain insight into decisions that have a real-world impact on the climate.

About the event

In this webinar, you’ll receive ten specific tips on how construction projects can reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We’ll show you which choices have the greatest impact—from renovation and space efficiency to structural and material choices—and how you can make better decisions in line with upcoming climate requirements.

Among other things, we’ll look at:

How early climate requirements and climate budgets can steer the project in the right direction
Why renovation, transformation, and repurposing often result in greater emissions reductions than new construction
How smarter land use, compact buildings, and the right construction choices can reduce both emissions and costs
Which material choices matter most, and how documented low-emission materials can be utilized

This webinar is relevant for building owners, developers, architects, consultants, contractors, and others seeking concrete advice on how upcoming climate requirements can be translated into practical measures in construction projects.

Speakers:

Jeroen Coppens ( Norconsult) is a civil engineer and architect with extensive experience in the construction and real estate sectors. Coppens’ expertise ranges from design and construction site supervision to project management and sustainability consulting, including greenhouse gas accounting, environmental programs, and BREEAM certification.

Eivind Selvig (Civitas) has been working on climate and energy challenges for more than 20 years and has actively participated in the debate and efforts to establish climate requirements in TEK17. In this webinar, Selvig will take a closer look at how the new requirements are expected to impact current construction practices.
