Dependant transition pathways
Cement & Steel
Specified embodied carbonDesign specifications drive what materials are used. Decarbonisation of concrete + steel sets the floor for what's possible at design stage.

Aviation
Scope 3 · cat 6Project travel for global firms — site visits, client engagement.

Buildings & Real Estate
Specified operational carbonThe buildings the firm designs operate for 50–100 years. Building-fabric performance + heating system specification at design stage locks in or unlocks operational decarbonisation.

HVAC & Heat Pumps
Specified operational carbonHeating system specification — heat pumps vs gas boilers vs district heat — sets the operational-carbon trajectory of a building for its full life. Heat-pump supply chain maturity determines whether designers can actually specify what climate goals require.
