TLDR
This paper analyzed the global and distributional aspects of American household carbon footprint and found that 30% of total US household CO 2 impact in 2004 occurred outside the US and that households vary considerably in their CO 2 responsibilities: at least a factor of ten difference exists between low and high-impact households.About:

Methods and system for nonintrusive load monitoring
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify and track of major electric appliances by using aggregate power data obtained at the main breaker level of a residence or commercial establishment, and then reconstruct the time-dependent usage of appliances and their power consumption.

Carbon Footprints and Embodied Carbon Flows Analysis for China’s Eight Regions: A New Perspective for Mitigation Solutions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors implemented a multi-regional input-output framework to evaluate the carbon footprints and embodied carbon flows for the eight regions of China from consumption-based perspective, and found that the construction, electricity/stream supply, and machine manufacturing rank as the top sectors with the largest total carbon emissions.

Environmental Impact of Consumption by Czech Households: Hybrid Input–Output Analysis Linked to Household Consumption Data
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a hybrid environmentally extended input-output model that links the single-region input analysis on domestic processes with a multiregional input analysis to derive the indirect emissions associated with imports and part of the domestic production.

Impact of urban and rural household consumption on carbon emissions in china
TL;DR: In this paper, the direct and indirect urban and rural per-capita carbon emissions generated by household consumption in Chiapas were examined using input-output analysis and decomposition techniques.

Environmental Repercussions And The Economic Structure: An Input-Output Approach
TL;DR: In each of its many forms it is related in a measurable way to some particular consumption or production process: the quantity of carbon monoxide released in the air bears, for example, a definite relationship to the amount of fuel burned by various types of automotive engines; discharge of polluted water into our streams and lakes is linked directly to the level of output of the steel, the paper, the textile and all the other water-using industries and its amount depends, in each instance, on the technological characteristics of the particular industry as mentioned in this paper.

Errors in Conventional and Input‐Output—based Life—Cycle Inventories
TL;DR: Using Monte‐Carlo simulations, it can be shown that uncertainties of input‐output– based life‐cycle assessments are often lower than truncation errors in even extensive, third‐order process analyses.

Examining the global environmental impact of regional consumption activities — Part 2: Review of input–output models for the assessment of environmental impacts embodied in trade
TL;DR: Turner et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a detailed review of single and multi-region input-output models used to assess environmental impacts of internationally traded goods and services, and identified six major models that employ multi-sector, multi-Region inputoutput analysis in order to calculate environmental impacts embodied in international trade.
