Lower-carbon levers	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.	Check source geography, fabrication intensity, and whether stone is structural, cladding, or finish-only.
