Carbon signals	Concrete and Glass look like the main embodied-carbon drivers in the current palette. Concrete Glass	The recorded material palette leans lower-carbon on paper, but procurement and quantity still matter. 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.	Track sourcing, certification, and assembly logic rather than assuming timber is automatically low impact.
