Material Studies

This is the cover sheet that connects to different material studies. These studies were initiated to support recommended specification revisions that will result in lower embodied carbon.

For the study results for a specific material or product, select from the items below with a dark background - items with a lighter background are planned to be added in the future. This section was begun in September 2025.
