The numbers created under the 鈥渂usiness-as-usual鈥 scenario depict such a scenario without drastic deviations in technology advancement or policy-making from past episodes. While there is typically still some technological progress in the form of reducing emissions intensities (stemming e.g. from energy efficiency gains) that are partly a result of policy actions, this scenario does not take into account announced policy pledges or the like.

GHG emission projections from the building sector in the U.S. and China 2020-2050
China's building sector emitted over *** million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCO鈧俥) in 2021. Meanwhile, the building sector in the United States produced some *** MTCO鈧俥 worth of greenhouse gas emissions that same year. According to , building-related emissions in the U.S. are projected to undergo a continual annual decline in the following decades under a "business-as-usual" scenario, falling to around *** MTCO鈧俥 in 2050.
