Carbon signals	Aluminum and Stone look like the main embodied-carbon drivers in the current palette. Aluminum Stone	government building, civic building, tower, and office 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	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.	No levers surfaced yet.
