“…This paper analyzes this IO (input/output) table and calculates CO 2 emissions and fossil fuel consumption by industrial sector resulting from 1 million yen's worth of production. The authors analyzed every 5-year inter-industrial relationship up to 2000 from the 1960 input/output table and identified a change over the years in the intensities of carbon dioxide [2,3], thereby indicating that the reduction of CO 2 emissions caused by construction is greatly influenced by the intensities of carbon dioxide subject to a change in the entire industrial structure of Japan, despite the indicated effectiveness of a design contrivance. Thus, based on the idea that the latest intensities are indispensable for design, this paper was brought to a conclusion.…”

In July 2009, the 2005 basic Japanese input/output table was publicized together with its physical transaction table. This research paper analyzed the 2005 IO (input/output) table to create building industry-related intensities and, at the same time, compared the building industry with industries at large for distribution margins and transportation. The analysis of distribution margins separately for middle and purchaser margins found that middle margins in the building industry are minor at 35% of the averages for all industries, while purchaser margins are sizable at 1.8 times, proving that it is an industry for which local production for local consumption is quite effective. CO 2 emissions resulting from transportation in the building industry were calculated and concisely characterized. Although the ratio of transportation CO 2 emissions to total CO 2 emissions in each industry finds almost no difference between general industries and the building industry, transportation CO 2 emissions per production value are two to three times heavier than those from general industries to be justified as a transportation-intensive industry.

The embodied energy/CO 2 of buildings in China and Japan, which reflects the characteristic industrial efficiency of building materials, is described in this paper. The energy consumption and CO 2 intensities for the dominant materials used in buildings are derived from the energy consumption in factories, and the energy consumption to produce equipment is derived from IO (input/output) analysis in order to compare the embodied energy/CO 2 for buildings between China and Japan based on the same estimation method. Although the energy consumption of structures in China is two to three times greater than in Japan, the interior finish and air conditioning equipment, for example, are simpler and smaller. As a result, the embodied energy/CO 2 of office buildings in China is only 10% to 20% greater than that of Japanese office buildings. Thus, the embodied energy/CO 2 of buildings depends on both industrial efficiencies and building design trends of the country.
