This month we look at how stakeholder and customer feedback influenced the Large General Service Rate Design Project. We also profile Kristian La Rose, who has faced the challenge of making aging buildings energy efficient in his work with the Metro Vancouver Housing Corporation, and we see what the City of Vancouver and BC Hydro Power Smart are doing to promote passive design in new buildings. |

Kristian La Rose
"I'm motivated by my desire for change because of my dissatisfaction with the current system. As landlords, there are no incentives for us to undertake initiatives to reduce the consumption of our tenants – there's something wrong with that." Read the profile |

 Editor's Note
Did you know that heating can account for more than half your home's energy bill and up to one-third of the heat from your home can escape through windows? To help reduce my personal energy consumption, I have replaced all of the windows in my home with ENERGY STAR®-labelled windows this summer. There are also financial incentives available for installing ENERGY STAR-labelled windows, such as federal and provincial government rebates and tax exemptions.
If you would like to become involved with any of our engagement initiatives, or would like to share your thoughts with us, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at nicole.young@bchydro.com. We're always looking for bright ideas!
