Energy Efficiency Trends in Canada

Download or read book Energy Efficiency Trends in Canada written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines recent trends in end-use energy consumption in Canada, identifying and analysing the factors that have caused changes in the demand for energy. Also develops indicators of energy efficiency improvements, using a factorisation method to determine the contribution of energy efficiency to changes in end-use (secondary) energy use. Such a method allows an assessment of the underlying changes in energy intensity for each end-use sector and permits distinguishing the effect of changes in energy intensity on energy use from changes in economic growth and changes in the mix of energy-using products or activities. Economy-wide trends are described first, followed by sections on energy efficiency trends in the residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation sector. The final section analyses factors influencing growth in energy use in each sector 1990-94. Appendices include a description of the methodology and data sources for the factorisation analysis, as well as a glossary.
