Carbon signals	Concrete, Glass, and Stucco look like the main embodied-carbon drivers in the current palette. Concrete Glass Stucco	building gives us a typology starting point even though the work does not have a recorded material palette yet. No dominant drivers yet.
Lower-carbon levers	Look for lower-clinker mixes, reused structure, and scope reductions before fine-grained product swaps. Compare system-level facade options, reduce overspecification, and pair glass choices with structural reductions. Use classification and product-level EPD research to place this material more precisely.	No levers surfaced yet.
