Thousands of Canadians have downloaded our 2019 Provincial Energy Efficiency Policy Scorecard, and visited the accompanying national database of energy efficiency policies. We want to get a better sense of how these tools are being used by the energy efficiency sector, researchers, policymakers, and advocates. Take our brief survey today so we can deliver on the #EEScorecard2020.

The buildings sector is responsible for just under 1/3 of end use demand in Canada and is well-positioned to capture an estimated 30% in energy efficiency improvement. Tracking the energy performance of buildings under 100,000 ft2, which account for 55% of the buildings expected to participate in the EWRB program, is a logical first step in capturing these savings.

A national low-carbon transition requires a tripling of energy efficiency from current levels. Energy savings will be largely driven by the provinces and territories, because they have jurisdiction over the most relevant policy areas, such as public utility regulation and building energy codes.
