"Energy efficiency should be the cornerstone of any energy policy that hopes to survive the rigours of the market", L. Hunter Lovins, Wyatt King

Real Estate Sector: Construction at 357 College Street, Toronto is transforming an abandonded building into a landmark hotel - Planet Traveler Hostel - that will integrate the latest energy efficiency technologies including passive solar heating, solar panels, geothermal, and drain water heat re-capture. Video and discussion of the claim that Planet Traveler is the 'greenest' hotel in North America. As discussed on BNN.

Geothermal Heating/Cooling: Learning from Planet Traveler, we placed three rounds in Clean Energy Developments. We're convinced geothermal is the 'holy grail' of heating/cooling systems. Tom Rand sat on the Board of Directors, as of spring, 2007 until the acquisition of Clean Energy by Alter NRG (NRG.TO). This represents the first succussful exit of VCi Green Funds delivering a 3x return.

Small Scale Wind: A round was placed in Helix Wind Inc., a manufacturer and distributor of aesthetically pleasing, small-scale vertical axis wind turbines. Helix Wind is now publicly traded under the symbol HLXW.OB.
