Carbon signals	Concrete, Steel, and Glass look like the main embodied-carbon drivers in the current palette. Concrete Steel Glass	building and housing 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. Prioritize recycled content, efficient sections, and procurement-specific EPD comparisons. Compare system-level facade options, reduce overspecification, and pair glass choices with structural reductions.	No levers surfaced yet.
