Carbon signals

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

No dominant drivers yet.

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

  • Cardboard
  • Glass
  • Polycarbonate
Lower-carbon levers

No levers surfaced yet.

  • Use classification and product-level EPD research to place this material more precisely.
  • 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.
