Hello everyone and welcome back to CleanTechies the Podcast. This is episode 52. 

If you are a climate tech founder with specific questions you'd like us to ask -- OR -- looking for capital and strategic partner introductions, please reach out to me via the Slack Channel or LinkedIn and we are glad to help in any way we can.  

Today's conversation is with James Henry, the Director of Growth and Sustainability at MyHEAT. MyHEAT is a Calgary-based Energy Software Startup. They have a technology that produced heat maps on a city-wide scale. They use that data to work in partnership with Utilities and Energy Consumers to make changes that result in long-term energy savings. Their goal is to reduce the amount of energy required to heat spaces.

The main discussion points in today's episode revolve around energy usage, changing consumer behavior, and how to create lasting energy efficiency changes. Of course, we also dug into the education questions I like to ask and we also spoke a bit about what the Utility's goals are and how they go about implementing them. 

Main Talking Points:
