Note(s): 1) Excludes emissions of buildings-related energy consumption in the industrial sector. Emissions assume complete combustion from energy consumption and exclude energy production activities such as gas flaring, coal mining, and cement production. 2) U.S. buildings emissions approximately equal the combined carbon emissions of Japan, France, and the United Kingdom.
