**Greetings [@Community](https://community.realtimelca.com/groups/community) đ**
Weâre back with another major update! This time, weâre **officially welcoming Iceland and the Faroe Islands** to the Real-Time LCA platform! đâš With this update, projects in these regions can now leverage **localized regulations, emission data, and classification systems** , making sustainability assessments more precise and aligned with national standards. But thatâs not allâweâve also packed in a range of powerful new features and improvements!
* * *
## đ **New Country Support: Iceland & Faroe Islands**
- **Localized Data & Regulations:** Both Iceland and the Faroe Islands now have full platform support.
- **Iceland-Specific Additions:**
- **HMS as a Calculation Type** for Icelandic projects.
- **Emission values in A5 and B6 stages** added for more accurate lifecycle assessments.
- **CCI Classification** is now available for organizing and reporting Icelandic projects.
- **EPD Mapping Enhancements:** Automatically apply missing phase standard values when mapping an EPD, saving time and ensuring consistency.
* * *
## â **Additional Features & Enhancements**
- **Lifetime Offset for Materials:** A game-changer for **facility management systems**! Now, you can shift the lifetime of a material based on a **base year** , allowing for **future emission projections** based on facility management plans.
- **Expanded Classification Systems:**
- **CCI and CCS classifications** have been addedâhighly requested and now available for mapping!
- **Better Construction Management:**
- You can now filter Constructions by _Owner_.
- Construction validation is now deployed.
- **LCAbyg Constructions in Real-Time LCA:** Easily use your **LCAbyg Constructions** directly in the platform for a seamless transition.
- **Material Creation Improvements:** A **redefined and streamlined** workflow for creating materials, making it faster and more intuitive.
- **Performance Boost:** Increased **stability and performance** on the Project Overview page.
- **Material Comparison Upgrade:** You can now **compare different indicators** in the Material Compare tool.
- **Wall Sweeps Added:** Expanded the **element category list** to include Wall Sweeps.
- **Lifetime Offset in Project Breakdown:** Now available in the **Insights View** for better long-term impact assessments.
* * *
## đ§ **Fixes & Adjustments**
- **Publishing Restrictions:**
- Weâve temporarily **removed the option to publish materials and constructions to all users** in Real-Time LCA. Until we develop a robust **automatic QA solution** , this feature will remain disabled for quality control purposes.
- **EPD Norway Datasets Cleanup:** Removed datasets that **did not meet our QA requirements** âensuring higher data quality for your projects.
- **Earth Moved by Machinery Fix:** The unit was incorrectânow correctly asks for **volume (mÂł) of Earth Moved** instead of a general unit.
* * *
**This is a massive step forward** , and weâre beyond excited to see how you leverage these new capabilities! đ As always, your feedback is invaluable in shaping the future of real-time LCA, so keep it coming.
We have dedicated the next release to bring Editing of constructions to the platform. đ
Cheers,
**The Real-Time LCA Team**

Good work team đȘ A lot of great feature updates đ€©
Could clarify what you mean by this?

Hi @MarkLabrosse
The validation process here is related to to the datasets that we deploy under the different Owners in Constructions.
So ie. the LCAbyg Constructions have gone through a validation process and so will others that will appear for other owners.

Hi @martinromby
This is really great! LCAByg has some pretty easy to use constructions, however I have a question regarding this⊠Have you currently implemented all constructions or is it an ongoing proces? - and if so, when can we expect a full implementation?
I just tried to find some of the commonly âdifficultâ mappings in RTLCA;
If I search âDĂžrâ in LCAByg Constructions, I get about 16 different results⊠When I do the same in the RTLCA library filtered to Owner: LCAByg I get 0 results.

Hi @MirnesT
It is a work that is still in progress, but I just heard back from the team that they expect to be done by the end of this week đ
We wanted to get the construction that we already made into the hands of all of you as quick as possible so weâre deploying them incrementally to the platform.
I will revert back when we have finalized the upload.
