  • 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.
  • Track sourcing, certification, and assembly logic rather than assuming timber is automatically low impact.
  • 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.
