Lower-carbon levers	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.	No levers surfaced yet.
