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. Use classification and product-level EPD research to place this material more precisely.	Check source geography, fabrication intensity, and whether stone is structural, cladding, or finish-only.
