<p> With fluctuations in energy price and the uncertainty of energy supply, particularly in the past decade, it has become increasingly important to forecast energy requirements. It is useful to know the response of energy demand to changes in both energy price and supply. In addition, the amount of substitution possibilities would allow forecasting demand for individual energy types. </p> <p> This study focuses on changes in energy intensities in the manufacturing and service sectors from 1962 to 1982. Trends for the sectors as a whole, and individual industries within each sector are analyzed on the basis of significant changes in; total consumption patterns and specific energy types. These trends are helpful in acting as a base for analyzing future energy needs in Canada. </p> / Thesis / Bachelor of Arts (BA)
