The Government of Canada is taking action to address climate change and is demonstrating leadership by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within its own operations. The Federal House in Order (FHIO) initiative formally centralizes the Government of Canada's efforts to monitor, track and reduce its own emissions. Supported by lead departments Environment Canada, Natural Resources Canada and Public Works and Government Services Canada, the initiative specifically targets 11 departments and agencies that together account for an estimated 95 percent of all Government of Canada emissions.

This Annual Report on Emissions Reductions From Federal Operations meets the Government of Canada's commitment to report annually on its progress in reducing GHG emissions. 

This twelfth report under the Energy Efficiency Act describes what Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has done in 2004-2005 to help improve Canada's energy efficiency and use of renewable energy. From 1990 to 2003, Canada's energy efficiency improved by 12.7 percent. In 2003 alone, Canadians saved $13.4 billion in energy costs and reduced greenhouse gas emissions by more than 52 megatonnes. 

North American Energy Efficiency Standards and Labeling is the second report of the North American Energy Working Group (NAEWG), a group of senior energy officials from Canada, the United States and Mexico. This report provides an update on the Group’s progress on energy efficiency, describes why standards and labelling programs are effective instruments in meeting energy-efficiency goals, explains the different processes and institutional contexts for these programs in each country, and identifies where commonalities and differences exist. The report will serve as an important reference document and guide for participants in international trade and research. 

This seventh edition of the State of Energy Efficiency in Canada serves as a quick guide to the Office of Energy Efficiency and its policies and programs. It describes the progress of Canada's economic sectors in improving energy efficiency and the contributions made by the programs of Natural Resources Canada. Canadians have been making great strides in using energy more wisely, avoiding $11.6 billion in energy costs in 2002 alone.
