Why are we conducting this survey?
Statistics Canada, in partnership with Natural Resources Canada, is conducting this survey to collect detailed information on the energy demand and consumption patterns of commercial and institutional buildings in Canada. This survey will collect detailed information on the energy demand and consumption patterns of commercial and institutional buildings 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. One of the principal goals of Natural Resources Canada is to continually improve energy efficiency in Canada through various measures. Improving energy efficiency reduces greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change.
Your participation is important.
Aggregated information from this survey will be used by governments, utilities, industry associations, building managers, and business owners. Data will be used to:
- develop programs and policies to improve the energy efficiency of commercial and institutional buildings and support Canada's climate change objectives;
- support programs such as ''ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager'' to encourage the energy efficiency practices by enabling Canadians to monitor and rate their building's energy use against peer buildings.
Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.
Your participation in this survey is required under the authority of the Statistics Act.
Reporting period
For the purposes of this survey, report information for the year 2019.

Reporting instructions

Definitions
Commercial building:
A structure that is, partially or completely, used for commercial activities focusing on the exchange of goods or services for a profit.
e.g., stores, office buildings, restaurants, hotels, warehouses
Institutional building:
A structure that is, partially or completely, used for institutional activities focusing on not-for-profit services of public interest.
e.g., schools, place of worship buildings, courthouses
Why have you been selected?
You have been selected because Statistics Canada uses a statistical method called sampling. It is an established way to determine characteristics of an entire population by surveying only part of the population. Buildings were selected as part of a random sample to represent other buildings of the same type (industry, geography, employee size). To ensure that the sample is an accurate reflection of the population as a whole, both nationally and regionally, it is important to have the participation of all those who have been selected through the sampling process.
Who should complete this questionnaire?
This questionnaire should be completed by the person most knowledgeable about the energy consumption and usage of this building.
i.e., someone who has access to energy bills and knowledge about the structure and details of this building (e.g., property manager, building manager, facilities manager, building owner).
How do we protect your information?
Statistics Canada is committed to respecting the privacy of consultation participants. All personal information created, held or collected by the agency is protected in accordance with the Privacy Act.
Deadline for completing this questionnaire
