Improving Energy Performance in Canada – Report to Parliament Under the Energy Efficiency Act - 2003-2004

PDF Version
Previous Page Table of Contents

Appendix 2: Data Presented in Report

The aggregate energy use data presented in this report are taken from Statistics Canada's Report on Energy Supply-Demand in Canada (RESD). Differences exist between this report and Canada's Emissions Outlook: An Update (CEO Update) concerning the sector allocations of RESD energy use data. The CEO Update's sector allocation is based on Environment Canada's Trends in Canada's Greenhouse Gas Emissions 1990-1997, whereas this report uses a definition better suited for the purpose of energy end-use analysis. Some modifications to the original Statistics Canada data were required and are documented in Appendix B of NRCan's Energy Use Data Handbook, 1990 and 1995 to 2002.
