Carbon signals	Concrete look like the main embodied-carbon drivers in the current palette. Concrete	sports venue, housing, tower, and landscape 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. Track sourcing, certification, and assembly logic rather than assuming timber is automatically low impact.	No levers surfaced yet.
