If you trying to find out the contribution of carbon dioxide emissions from the building to the environment, you should take a look at InputOuputReference for the following objects:

If you are trying to track emissions within the building used for demand controlled ventilation and indoor air quality there are many more inputs. You should take a look at the InputOutputReference for the following objects:

As well as:

  • ZoneHVAC:IdealLoadsAirSystem
  • ZoneAirContaminantBalance
  • ZoneCapacitanceMultiplier:ResearchSpecial
  • ZoneContaminantSourceAndSink:CarbonDioxide
  • ZoneContaminantSourceAndSink:Generic:Constant
  • ZoneContaminantSourceAndSink:Generic:CutoffModel
  • ZoneContaminantSourceAndSink:Generic:DecaySource
  • ZoneContaminantSourceAndSink:Generic:Deposition-RateSink
  • SurfaceContaminantSourceAndSink:Generic:Pressure-Driven
  • SurfaceContaminantSourceAndSink:Generic:Boundary-LayerDiffusion
  • SurfaceContaminantSourceAndSink:Generic:Deposition-VelocitySink

Other objects may impact the balance of carbon dioxide in the zones such as any of the Zone Airflow group of objects and the AirflowNetwork:* objects.

Also, take a look at FossilFuelEnvironmentalImpactFactors.idf and ElectricityUSAEnvironmentalImpactFactors.idf in EnergyPlus data sets folder (C:\EnergyPlusV8-4-0\DataSets).
