Material

Concrete

Structure · Higher carbon sensitivity · 1890 works

Concrete appears in 1890 works. Cement content and total volume are usually the dominant embodied-carbon drivers in concrete-heavy work.

Timber

Bio-based · Lower carbon sensitivity · 1245 works

Timber appears in 1245 works. Bio-based materials can improve the carbon profile on paper, though transport, adhesives, and durability still matter.

Material

Glass

Envelope · Moderate carbon sensitivity · 897 works

Glass appears in 897 works. Glass often matters less than primary structure, but large facade areas can still make it a major envelope signal.

Material

Steel

Structure · Higher carbon sensitivity · 841 works

Steel appears in 841 works. Primary steel can materially raise the footprint, especially when spans and support systems are doing a lot of work.

Material

Brick

Masonry · Moderate carbon sensitivity · 656 works

Brick appears in 656 works. Kiln-fired masonry adds meaningful embodied impacts and often interacts with structural and thermal choices.

Material

Stone

Finish · Moderate carbon sensitivity · 503 works

Stone appears in 503 works. Stone can be relatively durable but transport distance and fabrication intensity still influence the footprint.

Metal

Unsorted · Moderate carbon sensitivity · 115 works

Metal appears in 115 works. This material is present in the corpus, but Phase 3 does not yet have a richer carbon profile for it.

Material

Other

Unsorted · Moderate carbon sensitivity · 65 works

Other appears in 65 works. This material is present in the corpus, but Phase 3 does not yet have a richer carbon profile for it.

Material

Earth

Masonry · Lower carbon sensitivity · 47 works

Earth appears in 47 works. Earthen construction can be materially lower carbon when soils stay local and stabilizer content stays controlled.

Material

Bamboo

Bio-based · Lower carbon sensitivity · 29 works

Bamboo appears in 29 works. Bamboo can read as low carbon, but adhesives, lamination, transport, and weather protection still shape real performance.

Material

Ceramic

Finish · Moderate carbon sensitivity · 23 works

Ceramic appears in 23 works. Ceramic products often sit below the main structure in carbon significance, though firing intensity and facade-scale use can still be meaningful.

Material

Fabric

Unsorted · Moderate carbon sensitivity · 21 works

Fabric appears in 21 works. This material is present in the corpus, but Phase 3 does not yet have a richer carbon profile for it.

Material

Gypsum

Finish · Lower carbon sensitivity · 20 works

Gypsum appears in 20 works. Gypsum systems are often secondary to structure in carbon terms, but specification still changes moisture risk, fire performance, and replacement cycles.

Material

Polycarbonate

Envelope · Moderate carbon sensitivity · 18 works

Polycarbonate appears in 18 works. Polycarbonate can cut weight and enable translucent envelopes, though petrochemical feedstocks, UV durability, and replacement cycles still matter.

Landscape

Unsorted · Moderate carbon sensitivity · 17 works

Landscape appears in 17 works. This material is present in the corpus, but Phase 3 does not yet have a richer carbon profile for it.

Material

Aluminum

Envelope · Higher carbon sensitivity · 16 works

Aluminum appears in 16 works. Primary aluminium is highly energy intensive, so facade systems and frames deserve targeted product research.

Planting

Unsorted · Moderate carbon sensitivity · 16 works

Planting appears in 16 works. This material is present in the corpus, but Phase 3 does not yet have a richer carbon profile for it.

Plastic

Unsorted · Moderate carbon sensitivity · 16 works

Plastic appears in 16 works. This material is present in the corpus, but Phase 3 does not yet have a richer carbon profile for it.

Reused Material

Unsorted · Moderate carbon sensitivity · 14 works

Reused Material appears in 14 works. This material is present in the corpus, but Phase 3 does not yet have a richer carbon profile for it.

Recycled Material

Unsorted · Moderate carbon sensitivity · 10 works

Recycled Material appears in 10 works. This material is present in the corpus, but Phase 3 does not yet have a richer carbon profile for it.

Material

Tile

Finish · Moderate carbon sensitivity · 7 works

Tile appears in 7 works. Tile is usually finish-led, but large facade, roof, or terrace applications can make firing energy and assembly design more consequential.
