Overall, the direct emissions from buildings come from heating them.
- Overall, the direct emissions from buildings come from heating them.
- And so that curve, that rate of emission is totally fixed.
- And the advantage of this is that it's quicker and it has fewer emissions.
- So emissions have increased in total.
- And that's, you know, had huge effects on greenhouse gas emissions.
- Client climate science compels us to make large and rapid reductions in climate emissions.
- But then when we add the spontaneous emission, we will.
- And if you do that, then you get too much emissions to meet that goal.
Examples
-
But still, the main part of the problem is the emission of carbon dioxide from the burning of coal, oil, and gas.
-
A country such as China could simply choose to pull out of the international emissions-containment regime, undermining it completely.
Academic text (2008) -
But if the emission is cut off from the stone its properties are then lost
-
And that reduction in emission is shown here as a white region.
-
Finally, we need an agreement on an emission path from present emission levels to sustainable levels.
Academic text (2011) -
Overall, the direct emissions from buildings come from heating them.
-
A sustainable emission level can be defined as an emission level that would not cause any further climate warming.
Academic text (2011) -
The big opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is actually in urbanizing the suburbs.
-
It inhibits the emission of infrared or heat radiation.

Emission comes from Latin parts e- 'out' and mittere 'to send', and it is the same root as the verb emit 'to send out'. So an emission is the action of sending something out, like steam, light, or sound.
