Lower-carbon levers	Focus on recycled content, lighter assemblies, and careful facade-specification choices. Prioritize recycled content, efficient sections, and procurement-specific EPD comparisons. Use classification and product-level EPD research to place this material more precisely. Compare system-level facade options, reduce overspecification, and pair glass choices with structural reductions.	Check source geography, fabrication intensity, and whether stone is structural, cladding, or finish-only.
