Dear readers, Welcome to the August edition of the Energy Management e-newsletter. This month saw the release of the Canadian Energy Efficiency Alliance’s Energy Efficiency ‘Report Card.’ The CEEA’s report card comes out once every two years, and this year I was fortunate enough to be part of the review committee in the process. The results were very good this year, with a number of provinces making real headway in creating energy efficiency initiatives that will help businesses and individuals make a real difference in their energy use habits. Even more encouraging is the fact that other provinces are gearing up to make significant changes in the coming two years. Read the news item in this issue to get a sense of the results. The September edition of Energy Management will include broader coverage of the Report Card, so stay tuned! Energy Excellence 2008 (ENEX08), a new energy efficiency conference being launched in conjunction with Energy Management Magazine, is fast approaching. The conference and trade show will take place in Mississauga on September 23 and 24. Space is limited, so sign up now! I look forward to meeting you there. I appreciate your feedback on anything that appears here in our newsletter. Please don’t hesitate to contact me at rcolman@clbmedia.ca. Regards,  |
