Building construction emission factors
Construction of buildings as whole works (per m2 or per building). From 5 libraries, filed in one model so one publisher's factor compares with another's.
What the 7 factor pages say
One chart per unit, since a kilogram and a kWh do not compare. Colour is the boundary, what the factor counts; every row also names it.
