As a percentage of all households that had an air conditioner and a
thermostat. Values for the provinces of Atlantic Canada (Newfoundland and
Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick) and the Prairies
(Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta) were aggregated due to data quality at
the provincial level. Figures may not add up to 100 percent due
