GHG emissions from energy use in buildings in Europe

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with energy use in buildings arise both directly from the use of fossil fuels for purposes such as heating and indirectly from the production of electricity and heat used in buildings. Reducing these emissions involves improving energy efficiency and shifting towards low-carbon energy sources, including through the decarbonisation of electricity and heating and cooling systems. The indicator tracks developments in GHG emissions from energy use in buildings and explores how direct emissions may develop in the future based on Member States’ projections. Read more here...
