| Carbon signals | The recorded material palette leans lower-carbon on paper, but procurement and quantity still matter. No dominant drivers yet. | Aluminum, Concrete, and Steel look like the main embodied-carbon drivers in the current palette. |

| Lower-carbon levers | - Track sourcing, certification, and assembly logic rather than assuming timber is automatically low impact.
| - Focus on recycled content, lighter assemblies, and careful facade-specification choices.
- 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.
- Review masonry extent, reuse opportunities, and alternate assemblies where the design language allows it.
