Carbon signals

library, education, campus building, and house gives us a typology starting point even though the work does not have a recorded material palette yet.

No dominant drivers yet.

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

  • Concrete
  • Steel
  • Glass
Lower-carbon levers

No levers surfaced yet.

  • 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.
  • Track sourcing, certification, and assembly logic rather than assuming timber is automatically low impact.
