Carbon signals

Aluminum, Steel, and Glass look like the main embodied-carbon drivers in the current palette.

  • Aluminum
  • Steel
  • Glass

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.
  • 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.
