PDF Version | Table of Contents | Next Page

I. Introduction

In 2004, Statistics Canada undertook, on behalf of the Office of Energy Efficiency (OEE) of Natural Resources Canada, the first Consumption of Energy Survey (CES) for universities, colleges and hospitals. This CES 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.

The primary objective of this survey was to gather 2003 energy consumption data for universities, colleges and hospitals, as these are key sectors in the development of OEE programs. The data gathered through this survey will deepen our understanding of the various aspects of energy consumption in these sectors. The data will also enable Natural Resources Canada to develop and fine-tune its programs designed to support institutions and businesses as they seek to achieve greater energy efficiency and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

This detailed report was prepared by Vincent Fecteau, a staff member of the Demand Policy and Analysis Division, OEE, Natural Resources Canada. Jean-François Bilodeau supervised the project, and David McNabb was the project director.
