We have numerous waste heat recovery opportunities in Yukon that we’re not taking advantage of – mostly because they are not of priority. HRV’s have been standardized in the Whitehorse building code, and Watson Lake has a district heating system set up to capture waste heat off the diesel generator there, but that’s all I can think of offhand. For the most part I find the majority of the public is fascinated by the concept of electricity, its cost, and how it is generated. But heat – heat is typically overlooked and we are slow to capitalize opportunities. Is this true for other regions?
