Carbon signals	library gives us a typology starting point even though the work does not have a recorded material palette yet. No dominant drivers yet.	Concrete, Brick, and Glass look like the main embodied-carbon drivers in the current palette. Concrete Brick Glass
Lower-carbon levers	No levers surfaced yet.	Look for lower-clinker mixes, reused structure, and scope reductions before fine-grained product swaps. Review masonry extent, reuse opportunities, and alternate assemblies where the design language allows it. 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.
