Answer
Graham StuartGreenhouse gas emissions from public sector buildings in the UK in 2021 were 21% (2.0 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent) lower than in 2010. This estimate includes emissions directly from the combustion of fuels within buildings but not emissions from the supply of the fuels and electricity used in buildings.
