Abstract Since the international community adopted the Kyoto Protocol, which obliges developed countries to solve the climate change problem in 1997, Korea has ratified the 2015 Paris Agreement, which involves both developed and developing countries on November 3, 2016. In October 2021, the 2050 Carbon Neutral Scenario and the 2030 National Greenhouse Gas Reduction Goal were reviewed and resolved, and in 2050, the National Greenhouse Gas Reduction Goal (NDC) was significantly raised from the previous reduction target of 26.3% to 40% compared to 2018. Accordingly, in the case of the building sector, the goal is to reduce to 35.0 million tons (32.8% compared to 2018) in 2030 and 6.2 million tons (88.1%) in both A and B plans in 2050. In order to implement these reduction targets, it is basically necessary to confirm the energy usage, greenhouse gas emissions based on the characteristics of each use of the building, and the possibility of greenhouse gas reduction targets in 2030 and 2050. For example, buildings are largely divided into residential and non-residential use, and residential use can be divided into two types of detached houses and multi-family housing, and non-residential use can be classified into 28 types. Basic data on the characteristics of energy use by building use can be obtained from Green Together (greentogether.go.kr) of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. This data provides data on building energy usage for four years from 2018 to 2021, but does not provide data on greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, in this study, based on Green Together's energy usage data, the characteristics of greenhouse gas emissions by building use were examined, and through this, basic data were presented on how to achieve the reduction goal of the building sector in 2030 and 2050.
