This article focuses on CO₂ emissions of buildings in China, the drivers of carbon dioxide emissions of buildings performing stage under the different climatic conditions have been studied by using the STIRPAT (stochastic impacts by regression on population, affluence, and technology) model. Five factors were selected, including per capita floor space of residential buildings, floor space of buildings, household consumption level, output value of tertiary industry and unit building area of carbon dioxide emissions. According to the climatic conditions, the buildings of four climate regions are taken into account, which are Severe Cold (SC), Cold (C), Hot Summer Cold Winter (HSCW) and Hot Summer Warm Winter (HSWW), respectively. The factors are quantified through ridge regression. Empirical results indicate that all the factors can cause an increase in CO₂ emissions among the four climate regions, although they have different degree influence on CO₂ emissions from buildings in different climate regions.
