| Carbon signals | office gives us a typology starting point even though the work does not have a recorded material palette yet. No dominant drivers yet. | Concrete, Glass, and Stucco look like the main embodied-carbon drivers in the current palette. |
|---|
| Lower-carbon levers | No levers surfaced yet. | - 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.
- Track sourcing, certification, and assembly logic rather than assuming timber is automatically low impact.
