Carbon signals	Steel and Glass look like the main embodied-carbon drivers in the current palette. Steel Glass	museum, building, and sports venue gives us a typology starting point even though the work does not have a recorded material palette yet. No dominant drivers yet.
Lower-carbon levers	Prioritize recycled content, efficient sections, and procurement-specific EPD comparisons. 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.	No levers surfaced yet.
