Survey of commercial and institutional energy use : establishments 2009 : summary report

In 2011, Statistics Canada conducted the first Survey of Commercial and Institutional Energy Use (SCIEU) for the Office of Energy Efficiency (OEE) of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). This report presents the results of this survey, which are based on data gathered for reference year 2009. The SCIEU delivers on the OEE's mandate to strengthen and expand Canada's commitment to energy efficiency by improving our understanding of how and where energy is used, which in turn helps to identify energy efficiency opportunities and progress toward a more energy-efficient economy. The SCIEU was designed to collect information on establishments (SCIEU-Establishments) and buildings (SCIEU-Buildings) simultaneously. The two surveys differed in how they measure floor space. The establishment-based survey focuses on the floor space of the commercial activity of an establishment, while the building-based survey focuses on the whole structure, including non-commercial floor space such as common areas, indoor parking, lobbies, hallways, etc. Since the building survey included these additional areas, it was expected that the total floor space of the buildings would be larger than that of the establishments. SCIEU-Buildings and SCIEU-Establishments are designed to be standalone surveys to provide data at different levels of operation and, while there is overlap, they should not be compared.
