“Given Ottawa’s climate, and the economic constraints of the real estate
market, Zero Carbon cannot be realistically achieved at the building level.
We must turn our attention to District Heating and Cooling systems as the
solution, which can be scaled to take advantage of diverse renewable
energy inputs in a more realistic economic context.”
Scott Demark
Partner, Windmill Development Group
“The key to pushing sustainability issues through business is
understanding the internal motivations of our decision makers

“I'm sitting here at the www.confluxcanada.ca Conference on Sustainability
with TGL's CEO Mr. Ariel Dela Cruz and it's only been a few talks in and
there's already been a shift in my thinking about our current clients.
I
don't see them as “our clients” anymore but now “our partners” in creating
the tipping point for Environmental Change and Sustainability. It's more
than just getting the best paybacks for “our partners” now, its about how we
can execute on the Greatest Movement in our Human History.”
