Survey purpose
One of the principal goals of the Government of Canada is to continually improve energy efficiency in Canada through practical and innovative programs and policies. Such improvements support a transition to a low carbon economy, reduce energy consumption and help lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Natural Resources Canada, in partnership with Statistics Canada, is working to establish a better understanding of this sector in order to develop effective federal, provincial, territorial and municipal government programs and policies in support of energy efficiency and lower GHG emissions.
This survey will collect detailed information on the energy demand and consumption patterns of post-secondary institutions and hospitals in Canada. Information will include the types and quantities of energy being used (such as electricity, natural gas, etc.), and building characteristics to better understand energy consumption. Information from this survey will be used by analysts, policy-makers, governments, utilities, industry associations, building managers and business owners.
Reporting period
For the purposes of this survey, report information for the year of 2024.
What you will need to complete this questionnaire
For size of the buildings, you can refer to the Building Occupancy Permit, fire protection drawings or architectural drawings.
You will also need access to your energy bills for 2024.
Reporting instructions
- Percentages should be rounded to whole numbers.
- When precise figures are not available, provide your best estimates.
- Enter "0" if there is no value to report.
