An Overview of CIPEC Data GatheringYou Can’t Manage What You Don’t Measure
Accurate measurement and meaningful data are fundamental to measuring energy improvements. Data used in this report are collected primarily by Statistics Canada, with funding from Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and Environment Canada, and supplemented by information from associations participating in the Canadian Industry Program for Energy Conservation (CIPEC) as well as other government bodies.
Statistics Canada data are collected through the annual Industrial Consumption of Energy Survey, which covers approximately 4000 establishments in the manufacturing sector. The survey gathers information by establishment on energy fuel consumption in natural units for 13 fuel types in 87 manufacturing industries. Survey results are used to track energy efficiency improvements, calculate carbon dioxide emissions and inform the public about energy conservation.
In its continuing efforts to make it easier for companies to respond to the survey, Statistics Canada began streamlining the questionnaire and the data collection process in data reference year 2004. These changes include standardizing some special industry questionnaires, making provisions for respondents to explain major changes in energy consumption to minimize follow-up enquiries, and converting fuels to a standard unit of measure.
Data analysis and interpretation involve the collective effort of NRCan’s Office of Energy Efficiency (OEE), CIPEC trade associations and the Canadian Industrial Energy End-Use Data and Analysis Centre (CIEEDAC) at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia. CIEEDAC then produces energy intensity indicators for each sector based on production and gross domestic product. Primary funding for CIEEDAC comes from the OEE, with additional contributions from industry associations that participate in CIPEC and from the provinces of Quebec and British Columbia.
Much of the data is available on-line. Statistics Canada data are published in CANSIM table 128-0005 – Energy fuel consumption of manufacturing industries in natural units, by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) and table 128-0006 – Energy fuel consumption of manufacturing industries in gigajoules, by NAICS. The link to Statistics Canada is cansim2.statcan.ca. The OEE publishes Energy Efficiency Trends in Canada on an annual basis at /corporate/statistics/neud/dpa/data_e/publications.cfm. Data from CIEEDAC are available athttp://www.cieedac.sfu.ca/CIEEDACweb/mod.php?mod=userpage&menu=16&page_id=9

Wood Products
Profile: The wood products sector includes as many as 7 000 facilities in primary and secondary manufacturing. The primary grouping includes commodity-based production facilities, such as lumber and structural panels, and more specialized production facilities, such as engineered wood products and assemblies. The secondary grouping includes a diverse range of facilities that make prefabricated buildings, windows and doors, flooring, mouldings, containers and pallets, other millwork, or a myriad of other products. The energy data presented here focus on the primary manufacturing grouping.
Highlights
- Canada’s wood products sector consumed 134 337 TJ of energy in 2006, including 70 476 TJ of biomass, which represents 52.5 percent energy self-sufficiency.
- Market conditions worsened in 2006 when United States (U.S.) housing starts decreased 12.5 percent from the 2005 peak. Lumber prices decreased 16 percent and OSB prices decreased 32 percent in U.S. dollar terms.
- The 6 percent appreciation in the Canadian dollar also made market conditions worse.
- The market conditions caused capacity rationalization. An increase in energy intensity suggests that the numerous partial mill curtailments resulted in less efficient use of energy. As a result, the sector’s energy intensity increased 6.3 percent over 2005.
- Despite the setback in energy intensity in 2006, the sector’s energy intensity improved 23.3 percent between 1990 and 2006. This level is above the sector’s CIPEC target for annual improvement.
