Carbon signals

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

  • Steel
  • Brick
  • Glass

education, church, sacred space, and cathedral 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
  • Prioritize recycled content, efficient sections, and procurement-specific EPD comparisons.
  • Review masonry extent, reuse opportunities, and alternate assemblies where the design language allows it.
  • Compare system-level facade options, reduce overspecification, and pair glass choices with structural reductions.
