Households and the Environment Survey: Energy Supplement

John Marshall, Environment Accounts and Statistics Division

Collection for the 2007 cycle of the Households and the Environment Survey (HES) took place from October 2007 until February 2008. Information on household environmental behaviours, equipment and practices was collected from about 22,000 households. The results from this cycle of the survey will be published in early 2009.

A new supplement on energy use has been added to the HES. The energy use supplement covered information on dwelling characteristics, household appliances, electrical devices, heating and cooling equipment, and energy (for example, electricity, natural gas, heating oil, propane) use and consumption. This supplement is a joint initiative of Statistics Canada and Natural Resources Canada.
