Hello EMTF Colleagues,
I hope everyone has adjusted to the new normal of home-work life. With everyone increasingly in self-isolation or practicing social distancing, I think it is important to continue to facilitate digital alternatives to social interaction. We are using the EMTF monthly sessions to bring some sense of community amongst fellow energy management practitioners and enthusiasts. It is more important than ever for us to support each other and continue the community that we have created. For these reasons, we are continuing to hosti the EMTF sessions as an online presentation.

Title :The Lightspark Platform
The presentation will feature a demonstration of the Lightspark Platform, which is user-friendly, highly engaging digital platform providing fast, measurable carbon reduction in communities using machine learning, behavioural economics and building energy modelling.

James Riley, CEO and Founder of LightsparkJames is a software entrepreneur with a passion for energy efficiency. After spending several years providing marketing, CRM and digital strategy for recognized brands like NFL, Dove, Diageo, Disney, NBC, Microsoft and others, he started his own digital agency in 2010 and began working with BC Hydro, Efficiency Nova Scotia, Efficiency Alberta, SaskPower and City of Vancouver. By using digital strategies and platforms to better reach business objectives, he helped his clients create efficiencies and reduce the costs of running complex energy efficiency programs. James created Lightspark in 2017 because he wanted to build a product platform that streamlines energy efficiency benefits for consumers, trades, utilities, and policy makers and makes it easier to deliver the economic and environmental benefits of energy efficiency.
