Legend:
Quality indicators (QI) classify each estimate according to its quality as follows: A–20% or less, B–between 20% and 30%, C–between 30% and 40%, and F–more than 40%.
Notes:
- SCIEU 2019 collected data through two surveys: a survey for buildings and a survey for establishments. The latter includes universities, other post−secondary institutions (i.e. colleges / CEGEPs, technical schools) and hospitals, where one establishment may have one or multiple buildings. The establishment survey for SCIEU 2019 yielded a total of 1,444 establishments, comprised of 242 universities, 445 other post−secondary institutions, and 757 hospitals, representing 4,660 university buildings, 1,824 other post−secondary buildings, and 2,008 hospital buildings, respectively.
- Some totals may not be the same between tables due to rounding.
