Lower-carbon levers
  • 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.
  • 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.

  • Compare system-level facade options, reduce overspecification, and pair glass choices with structural reductions.
  • Use classification and product-level EPD research to place this material more precisely.
