Energy Demand Side Management - Small and Medium Sized Industry
2006-06-05 11:35:36 UTC
Greetings,
I am looking to identify best practices for Demand Side Management program concepts and approaches for energy use reduction, which are specifically geared to small to medium industry (<1 MW average demand, chemical manufacturing, transportation equipment manufacturing, food manufacturing, etc.). If anyone happens to know of documents, websites, etc. which describe innovative DSM programs for small and medium sized industry, their impacts in terms of % energy saved and cost-effectiveness, and the conditions for market transformation, please let me know.
Thanks and regards,

Hello Patrick:
A few suggestions for information sources...
1) Transfair - Canadian independent licensing organization for fair-trade products. http://www.transfair.ca/
2) Bridgehead - very successful Ottawa Fair Trade coffee chain (Tracey Clark is the principal founder and owner). A news story link can be accessed at: http://www.cbc.ca/stories/2003/07/04/Consumers/Bridgehead_030704 (Bridgehead won the fight against Starbucks referred to in this story)
3) La Siembra cooperative - another very successful Ottawa Fair Trade products company. Their Coco Camino fair trade, organic chocolate bars are now distributed throughout the country, including in main-stream Loblaws grocery stores. http://www.lasiembra.com/
4) Peridar - An on-line Fair Trade products site. The owner is Nicole McGrath and she is a local here in Ottawa. http://www.peridar.ca/StoreFront.bok
5) Ten Thousand Villages - another example of a successful Fair Trade artisan store. Hope this helps. If you would like further info, please let me know, as I know some of the people involved in the references listed above.
