Residential energy use represents roughly one-fifth of annual greenhouse gas emissions in the United States.

Paradoxically, this first national level analysis found that even though energy-efficient homes are more often found in Caucasian neighbourhoods, carbon emissions from these neighbourhoods are higher than in African American neighbourhoods.
