Carbon signals	Steel and Glass look like the main embodied-carbon drivers in the current palette. Steel Glass	The recorded material palette leans lower-carbon on paper, but procurement and quantity still matter. No dominant drivers yet.
Lower-carbon levers	Prioritize recycled content, efficient sections, and procurement-specific EPD comparisons. 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.
