Summertime control of temperature in Canadian homes: How Canadians keep their cool
This study, based on data from the 2009 Households and the Environment Survey, looks at the characteristics and usage of air conditioning systems and other methods of space cooling by Canadian households. In 2009, half of Canadian homes reported having some type of air conditioning system. Over two-thirds of Canadian households that used air conditioning were equipped with a central air conditioning system while almost one-third used a standalone air conditioning unit.

This article focuses on the characteristics of settlements in terms of land area and population, and the changes that have taken place between 2001 and 2006.
