Improving Energy Performance in Canada – Report to Parliament Under the Energy Efficiency Act For the Fiscal Year 2009-2010

PDF Version | Table of Contents | Previous Page

Appendix 2 Data Presented in the Report

The aggregate energy use data presented in this report are taken from Statistics Canada’s Report on Energy Supply and Demand in Canada (RESD). Some adjustments to the original Statistics Canada data were required and are documented in Appendix A of NRCan’s Energy Use Data Handbook, 1990 to 2007. The differences that exist between this report and Canada’s Energy Outlook relate to the sector allocations of RESD energy-use data.
