According to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) calculations, the architecture industry totally consumed 40% of the energy and 36% of CO2 emissions in world. The large public building with rapid floor area growth, high-energy consumption and huge potential for energy saving features, is a key area of energy conservation obviously. This paper researched the trend of low-carbon building construction and high building energy efficiency, the public building energy consumption and its carbon emissions effect. Moreover, consumption and carbon emission of different types of public building energy was analyzed. Estimation methods on public building energy consumption and carbon emission were summarized in the last part.
