Energy Efficiency Publications

The Office of Energy Efficiency (OEE) publishes numerous publications on topics related to energy efficiency and alternative energy. They are aimed at the general public, as well as more specialized audiences. The majority of these publications are available free of charge in Canada. The Industrial, Commercial and Institutional (ICI) programs, however, specifically target these three sectors. Not all of the ICI publications are available free of charge.
