MAISY Canadian Province Database products incorporate information from Statistics Canada, including population survey data, surveys of employment payrolls and hours and labor force surveys along with data from Canadian utilities, association data, proprietary Canadian customer data as well on-site survey and utility billing data of commercial customers from northern tier US states. MAISY Province Databases contain extensive building structure, operating characteristics, equipment information and other energy-related variables including detailed electricity, natural gas and oil consumption data along with traditional firmographic information for industrial, commercial and residential customer records throughout Canada. Databases provide hourly load information for each customer record at two levels of detail: (1) 24 hourly loads for each of 3 day-types (peak day, average week day and weekend) in each of 12 months for electricity, gas and oil, and (2) all 8760 electric hourly loads with end-use and whole-building detail for the entire year. Customer data are also available for provinces and individual metropolitan areas, cities and other locations within each province. Other MAISY products and services developed for the US market are also now available for Canadian markets. Summary of MAISY Canadian Province Database Products and ServicesWhile MAISY Canadian Province Database Systems reflect the unique energy use and other characteristics of commercial customers across Canada, database variables, support software and application areas are identical to those of the US state databases. Consequently, a summary of Canadian Province Database System components is described below with relevant additional information provided in the links to descriptions of the corresponding US System components. MAISY Canadian Province Databases are composed of a scientifically selected sample of customers representing all utility commercial sector customers within each Province. Providing information on a large number of customer characteristics (see lists of residential, commercial and industrial database variables, ) for a representative sample of customers provides detailed information on individual customers and customer segments along with information on the entire population of customer customers. For instance, energy use and operating characteristics of a typical fast-food restaurant in Ontario can be determined along with the total number and total energy use of all fast food restaurants, the size of this market segment compared to all restaurants and to all commercial buildings and the distributions of fast-food restaurants in Ontario with respect to kWh, kW, and other customer characteristics. MAISY Canadian Province Database Development utilized a variety of individual customer and market data sources including onsite customer surveys, customer utility billing data, government, association and proprietary data, and other sources. Information sources are summarized below:

Canadian Province Hourly Loads Databases provide hourly load information for each customer record in the Energy Marketing Databases at two levels of detail: (1) 24 hourly loads for each of 3 day-types (peak day, average week day and weekend) in each of 12 months for electricity, gas and oil, and (2) all 8760 electric hourly loads by end use for the entire year. 8760 Hourly Load Databases provide hourly load data for each hour of the year for each record in the databases. Standard MAISY database access software presents hourly load charts as part of user navigation of the Energy Marketing databases. Users apply mouse-clicks on charts displaying customer characteristics to drill down to the market segment or customer type of interest; hourly load charts reflect hourly loads associated with user-selected customers.
