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

  • Steel
  • Glass
  • Stone
Lower-carbon levers

No levers surfaced yet.

  • Prioritize recycled content, efficient sections, and procurement-specific EPD comparisons.
  • Compare system-level facade options, reduce overspecification, and pair glass choices with structural reductions.
  • Check source geography, fabrication intensity, and whether stone is structural, cladding, or finish-only.
