Carbon signals

The recorded material palette leans lower-carbon on paper, but procurement and quantity still matter.

No dominant drivers yet.

Concrete, Glass, and Stucco look like the main embodied-carbon drivers in the current palette.

Lower-carbon levers
  • Track sourcing, certification, and assembly logic rather than assuming timber is automatically low impact.
  • 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.
