Commercial and Institutional Consumption of Energy Survey (CICES), December 2005

PDF Version | Table of Contents | Next Page

Introduction

In 2005, Statistics Canada undertook, on behalf of the Office of Energy Efficiency (OEE) of Natural Resources Canada, the second Commercial and Institutional Consumption of Energy Survey (CICES), based on 2004 data. This CICES ties in directly with the OEE's mandate to strengthen and expand Canada's commitment to energy efficiency in order to help address the challenges of climate change.

While the first survey, conducted in 2004 (then entitled Consumption of Energy Survey), covered only universities, colleges and hospitals, the new one has been broadened to include the entire commercial and institutional sector.

The primary objective of this survey was to gather 2004 energy consumption data for commercial and institutional establishments. The data gathered through this survey will deepen our knowledge of the various aspects of energy consumption in this sector. The data will also enable Natural Resources Canada to develop and fine-tune its programs, designed to support institutions and enterprises as they seek to achieve greater energy efficiency and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.
