• Survey of Active Solar Thermal Collectors, Industry and Markets in Canada (2005)-

  A detailed survey of the active solar thermal industry in Canada was undertaken in the period from January through March, 2005.

  The primary focus of the survey was to determine the size of the Canadian solar thermal industry and market. This data was then used to derive thermal energy output and avoided greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from solar thermal systems.

  As the first survey of this type in over a decade, the questionnaire was distributed widely, to 268 recipients across Canada.
