Quirks

The driver is a MODELED estimate (IEA Global Buildings Model), labeled NET stock additions - renovation and non-building construction are uncovered, which is why the copper construction lane reads ~0.5x of the ICSG share (documented, not tuned away).

Demand-side DRIVER lane (DeploymentRecord only, never supply): world floor-area additions x the CDA per-m2 services coefficient = copper's first construction FLOW lane.
