| 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.
- 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.
