Just recently I stumbled on an article that spoke of 39 local businesses and organizations that were recognized this year with awards from Fortis-BC for their leadership in completing energy efficiency projects. In total, their efforts will result in an energy savings of over 100,000 kilowatts per year. Seven of these businesses saved enough to power 430 Canadian homes annually.
