Carbon signals

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

No dominant drivers yet.

Concrete, Steel, and Brick look like the main embodied-carbon drivers in the current palette.

  • Concrete
  • Steel
  • Brick
Lower-carbon levers

No levers surfaced yet.

  • 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.
  • Compare system-level facade options, reduce overspecification, and pair glass choices with structural reductions.
