The main objective of this report is to provide analysis of trends in energy efficiency, energy consumption, and related greenhouse gas emissions in Canada. The analysis uses a factorization method that separates the changes in the amount of energy used by economic sectors into four factors: activity, sectoral structure, the weather, and effectiveness of energy use. Analyses of economy-wide trends in end-use energy, energy efficiency, and emissions are followed by analyses of trends in the following sectors: residential, commercial/institutional, industrial, transportation, agriculture, and electricity generation. Includes glossary.
This booklet is designed to help office managers and equipment purchasers & users reduce the amount of electricity consumed in Canadian offices without sacrificing equipment functionality, performance, ease of use, or reliability. It begins with information on the ENERGY STAR program that certifies equipment as being energy efficient, and estimates the possible savings in energy costs for a typical office if ENERGY STAR products are used instead of conventional equipment. The main section sets out ENERGY STAR specifications and describes energy efficient aspects of the following types of office equipment: personal computers & monitors, printers, fax machines & scanners, photocopiers, & multi-function devices. The final section contains guidance on the wise use of office equipment to reduce energy consumption.
Energy Efficiency (EE) has been recognized since the early 1970s as the most relevant mechanism to optimize the way we meet our energy needs. The rationale behind this book is to present where the Canadian EE sector stands today to all Canadian stakeholders and those interested around the world. The Canada Energy Efficiency Outlook aims to outline the different environments that support EE development in our highly diversified provinces and territories, as well as at the national level, and consequently allow the reader to better understand the complexities involved. More globally, this book serves as an important reference for all interested parties on how Canada has variably innovated and developed mechanisms to achieve the goal of making this country more energy efficient.
At a time when the topic of energy is front and centre, this book examines the basic concepts that are essential to grasping the energy issues of the 21st century. All the main questions that people have about energy, especially oil and gas, are addressed, providing students, academics, journalists, representatives of government and other institutions and interested readers in general with the information they need to understand the complex, multifaceted energy sector. Abundantly illustrated, this book represents five years of exhaustive research on a fascinating and highly controversial topic. It discusses all the processes related to fossil forms of energy, from the formation of hydrocarbons (crude oil and natural gas) to the delivery of oil and gas to consumers. Il also examines renewable energy options and climate change issues in addressing the major geopolitical challenges facing the energy sector.
