Summary

Municipal arenas in Canada are built mainly for hockey, but they also house other activities and special events. In most small municipalities, arenas are the public buildings that have the highest annual energy use and consumption. Approximately 450 arenas operate throughout the province of Quebec. A general survey of several arenas similar in size shows that for a standard ice arena, the energy use is 1,500,000 kWh/year. The most energy-efficient arenas use approximately 800,000 kWh/year, while less efficient ones consume nearly three times that much energy at 2,400,000 kWh/year.
