title: Canada_construction_emissions_inventory_[Public_Data]

description: Overview:
This data was created using the code stored at the following GitHub. The code applies OpenIO-Canada to Canadian Supply-Use Tables to create EEIO matrices. It then performs additional analyses on said matrices to obtain consumption-based accounts of GHG emissions driven by Canadian construction sectors, as well as data on the geographic flows and GDP intensity of embodied emissions in construction.
File descriptions:
1. T2_Figure2_data.csv A file containing the data represented in Figure 2. 
2. T3_Figure3_data.csv A file containing the data represented in Figure 3. 
3. T4_Figure4_data.csv A file containing the data represented in Figure 4. 
4. T5_Figure5_data.csv A file containing the data represented in Figure 5. 
5. T6_Figure6_data.csv A file containing the data represented in Figure 6. 
6. T7_Figure7_data.csv A file containing the data represented in Figure 7. 
7. CanCons_workbook_V2.xlsx
A workbook summarizing all the analyses performed to create the figures in the paper "Developing a comprehensive account of embodied emissions within the Canadian construction sector". Contains all the data exported by the jupyter notebook stored at the GitHub link, as well as the additional analysis & formatting steps taken.
8. RAW_data-for-analysis_figure2-7.zip
A Zip file containing the raw data created by CanCons_Analysis_notebook.ipynb and used by the CanCons_workbook (above) to produce the figures in question. This includes:

Figure2_RAW_data.csv
A direct export of the D matrix, along with totals.

Figure3_RAW_data.csv
Results of a contribution analysis of the final demand for construction-based Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF) from all Canadian provinces and territories. Results show, for construction demand in each province, all the environmental impacts driven by each construction sub-sector.

Figure3_RAW_data_GDP.csv
Accompanies Figure3_RAW_data.csv. Contains data from the Y matrix on the final demand for construction-based GFCF in $. Used for calculating intensities per unit GDP used in Table 1.

Figure4_RAW_data_[construction sector].csv
3 files which contain the results of contribution analyses of 3 individual construction sectors: Roads & Highways, Communications Infrastructure, and Residential Buildings. Results show, for each province, the embodied environmental impacts associated with the inputs into these 3 sectors.

Figure5+6_RAW_data_Baseline.csv
Results of a standard contribution analysis of Construction GFCF to serve as a baseline for the following files.

Figure5+6_RAW_data_Zero[Region].csv
Each file represents the result of a contribution analysis for Construction GFCF where the S matrix values for the [Region] (representing the environmental impacts caused by supply-chain steps within a region) have been zeroed out. This means that the results in these files represent a world where the [Region]'s contribution to the final impacts of all other regions have been removed. Subtracting these values from the baseline results in values representing each [Region]'s contribution to consumption-based impacts driven by construction every other region. This allows the flows of embodied emissions in construction materials to be mapped.

Figure7_RAW_data.csv
Subset of results from Figure3_RAW_data on the distribution of energy (TJ) and emissions (kgCO2) across regions and construction sectors.
