National Energy Use Database

Enhancing our understanding of where and how energy is used in Canada

The National Energy Use Database (NEUD) is an invaluable set of tools that support Canada’s national efforts to mitigate energy’s impact on the environment and creates opportunities to improve energy efficiency policy measures.

Explore the NEUD tables

These tables contain most of the energy, GHG, activity and price data used by the Office of Energy Efficiency for its analysis. The data is presented by region (and for some sectors, by province) as well as for Canada.

These tables provide a statistical overview of Canada’s sectoral energy markets. The data in these tables were taken from the Comprehensive Energy Use Database.

These tables contain detailed background analysis for the energy and GHG indicators. The analysis work is based on data from the Comprehensive Energy Use Database.

Drawing on data from the Comprehensive Energy Use Database, use the query system to design and customize your own energy and GHG tables.

This calculator helps to translate abstract measurements of GHG emissions into concrete terms, such as emissions from cars or households.

This Programs Directory provides information on the energy efficiency and alternative energy programs of the Canadian, provincial and territorial governments, major electric and gas utilities and major municipalities in Canada.

The Office of Energy Efficiency at Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has changed the base year related to its National Energy Use Database (NEUD) from 1990 to 2000, beginning with the release of 2018 data. This rebasing is to ensure that NEUD reflects developments in trends and structures of Canada’s energy end use and efficiency across sectors. It also synchronizes Canada’s energy use data reporting with changes recently made by the International Energy Agency. While new estimates are no longer made available for years prior to 2000, data with the new base year are expected to better service the development, implementation and monitoring of government policies, programs and projects; evidence-based decision making; industrial and market analysis and projection; and energy use literacy, education and stakeholder engagement.

Residential sector

These tables outline changes in the energy consumption and other characteristics of major household appliances shipped in Canada between 2000 and 2021.

These tables contain representative data on the energy and physical characteristics of private dwellings in Canada and on the household use of energy resources for the SHEU target population.

These tables contain representative data on the energy and physical characteristics of private dwellings in Canada and on the household use of energy resources for the SHEU target population.

These tables contain energy consumption data collected from eight Canadian cities, together with information on the number of MURBs (properties) and their associated floor space. Results are an estimate of the aggregate of these eight municipalities.

These tables contain representative data on the energy and physical characteristics of private dwellings in Canada and on the household use of energy resources for the SHEU target population.

Commercial sector

These tables provide estimates of the number of buildings, floor space, energy consumption and energy intensity at a desagregated level for the target population of the SCIEU survey.

These tables provide estimates of the number of buildings, floor space, energy consumption and energy intensity at a desagregated level for the target population of the SCIEU survey.

These tables provide estimates of single-rink, multi-rink, or multiplex facilities having at least one rink with dimensions for hockey. National and provincial/territorial coverage include data on floor space, energy consumption and energy intensity, ownership type and arena type. The survey also provides information on the implementation of energy efficiency practices, recent recommissioning and retrofit activities, and current use of refrigerant types.

These tables provide estimates of the number of buildings, floor space, energy consumption and energy intensity at a desagregated level for the target population of the SCIEU survey.

Industrial sector

These tables provide details of energy consumption and energy intensity for the Manufacturing sector as a whole, as well as for the seven most energy-consuming subsectors. They also compare energy sources used in the sector from 2000 to 2020.
