ESTIMATION OF CO₂ EMISSIONS OF RESIDENTIAL SECTOR BY EACH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT CONSIDERING FAMILY STRUCTURE AND DWELLING PERFORMANCE

Abstract

We have developed a model to estimate CO₂ emissions of residential sector, and organized a CO₂ emission database by each detailed attribute which contains family structure, residential type, residential area and transport mode, which is aimed at evaluation of the effect of shift of family structure and dwelling performance. We used this developed model to perform a case study of the Nagoya metropolitan area (within 20km of CBD), and studied effect of technology innovation in houses and home electronics. The results indicate that 1) per capita CO₂ emission increase in inner-city district and edge of urban area in 2010, 2) per capita CO₂ emission will increase by decrease of household size.
