Carbon signals

Aluminum and Stone look like the main embodied-carbon drivers in the current palette.

  • Aluminum
  • Stone

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

No dominant drivers yet.

Lower-carbon levers
  • Focus on recycled content, lighter assemblies, and careful facade-specification choices.
  • Check source geography, fabrication intensity, and whether stone is structural, cladding, or finish-only.
  • Track sourcing, certification, and assembly logic rather than assuming timber is automatically low impact.
