Carbon signals

civic building gives us a typology starting point even though the work does not have a recorded material palette yet.

No dominant drivers yet.

Steel, Bamboo, and Glass look like the main embodied-carbon drivers in the current palette.

  • Steel
  • Bamboo
  • Glass
Lower-carbon levers

No levers surfaced yet.

  • 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.
  • Track sourcing, certification, and assembly logic rather than assuming timber is automatically low impact.
