The UK national atmospheric emissions inventory estimates of construction industry emissions use a top-down approach, based on fuel consumption and employment. It estimates that the sector is the 2nd largest emitter of PM 2.5 (14%) and 4th largest emitter of NO X (7%). In this study, we have adopted a bottom-up approach to assess emissions of NO X from the sector and show that emissions are 39% higher than the existing estimat...

The anthropogenic heat emissions generated by human activities in London are analysed in detail for 2005–2008 and considered in context of long‐term past and future trends (1970–2025). Emissions from buildings, road traffic and human metabolism are finely resolved in space (30 min) and time (200 × 200 m 2 ). Software to compute and visualize the results is provided. The annual mean anthropogenic heat flux for Greater London is...
