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.	Brick and Glass look like the main embodied-carbon drivers in the current palette. Brick Glass
Lower-carbon levers	No levers surfaced yet.	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. Track sourcing, certification, and assembly logic rather than assuming timber is automatically low impact.
