Carbon signals

Concrete and Glass look like the main embodied-carbon drivers in the current palette.

  • Concrete
  • Glass

education, campus building, performance venue, and tower 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.
  • Compare system-level facade options, reduce overspecification, and pair glass choices with structural reductions.

No levers surfaced yet.
