According to several recent studies， the building sector is the biggest single consumer of energy worldwide; using 35- 40% of energy resources and contributing about a third of all energy related CO_2 emissions in some countries in the world。 At the same time， this sector has the highest potential for energy savings and the use of energy from renewable sources。 What is even more important: buildings have also the highest saving potential with no-cost and low-cost measures， e。g。 by just changing the building design and applying well-known technologies such as insulation， solar-water-heaters， efficient lighting， etc。 The 2007 IPCC report estimated the savings potential per sector in different country groups and came to the conclusion that the building sector has the highest saving potential。 The McKinsey Global Institute and the Vattenfall Institute of Economic Research developed a similar analysis showing the high business potential for energy efficiency in buildings。 The "Global Carbon Abatement Cost Curve" clearly shows the highest profitability for measures in buildings， such as improvement of building insulation and lighting systems。 In addition， households in emerging countries are the main driver for energy efficiency improvements in contrast to industrialized countries， where most of the saving potential has been identified in the industry and electricity generation sectors。 The sectorial GHG Emissions in the residential and commercial sector of Egypt for 2005 (as an example) was calculated using the IPCC guidelines of 1996。 The activity data in this case was (by 1000 Tons) 159212 for the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)， 8804 for Kerosene， and 186506 for Diesel。 The total petroleum amounts are 186506 and 22608 for Natural Gas 。 According to the data released from the International Energy Agency (IEA) estimation for the energy in kilotons of oil equivalent (ktoe) consumed in 2010 for Residential sector of Egypt are 10 for Coal & Peat， 5035 for Oil products， 854 for Natural Gas， 767 for Biofuel & waste， and 4418 for Electricity。 The IEA estimation for the energy (ktoe) consumed in 2010 for the Commercial & Public Services sector is 1378 from Electricity 。 This paper presents the GHG emissions for the residential & commercial sector in Egypt。 It also presents the GHGs emissions from all Energy consumption by gases (CO_2， CH_4 & N_2O) with comparison to the total GHG emissions of C02e in Egypt。 Also， this paper presents comparisons of GHG emissions from building sectors of some southern and eastern Mediterranean countries including Algeria， Egypt， Israel， Jordan， Lebanon， Morocco， Palestine， Syria， Tunisia and Turkey。
