Does anyone know of a resource that breaks out the carbon impact of materials with different facade designs? I have seen one article that has a nice break out, but it does not describe much about building design (https://www.canadianarchitect.com/embodied-carbon-key-considerations-for-key-materials/). I most interested in finding data for a large commercial building with an all glass curtainwall. Thoughts on trying to get this type of data?

Jason, you can look here: Kaleidoscope: Embodied Carbon Design Tool - Payette
You can also try to find curtainwall EPDs, like those published by Kawneer and EFCO. Or you can break out the curtainwall into its constituent materials and run them in an LCA software, like OneClick LCA or Tally.
