Lower-carbon levers	Look for lower-clinker mixes, reused structure, and scope reductions before fine-grained product swaps. 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. Track sourcing, certification, and assembly logic rather than assuming timber is automatically low impact.
