Tom-Smith

In Memoriam

Tom Smith, Co-Owner (July 4, 1954 – November 6, 2013)

Tom was involved in the energy conservation business for 33 years, delivering energy efficiency services in BC including the Power Smart Home Improvement Program for 10 years and the BC Gas (and later Terasen) Homeworks Home Improvement Program for 10 years. Tom was regularly the top performer for both programs, both in terms of the number of home improvements completed and in customer satisfaction. He was a founding member of the National Energy Conservation Association, and – along with BC Hydro, Terasen and Homeworks –was a founding member of the Building Performance Association.

Tom “Mad Dog” Smith passed away peacefully with his family at his bedside on November 6, 2013.  His passing has left a void in many hearts.
