RadiantLink & three innovative teachers from North American Trade Schools partner up to tackle Canadian basements.

RadiantLink -- We are very proud to introduce RadiantLink. In Canada, we understand the cold - it is part of who we are - it is what makes us tick. This understanding gives us the opportunity to dream and to do things a little bit better.
We dream of man caves and media rooms that do not require a good old Hudson Bay blanket to survive the chill of the basement. We understand that residential buildings account for 17 percent of the US greenhouse gas emissions (Centre for Climate and Energy Solution, 2007). We improved the energy efficiency of our cars - now it is time to improve the energy efficiency of our homes. The innovative solution that will enable us to become more energy efficient is RadiantLink.
The RadiantLink concept was designed by MacPherson Engineering, a Western Canadian Engineering firm. Manufacturing is not an integral part of the culture in Saskatchewan, but it is in Ontario. There is where the story really gets exciting.
Three teachers Lanny Metcalfe, Daniel Harris and Brian Spencer from the London campus of North American Trade Schools (www.tradescollege.ca) found the RadiantLink website and became excited about the possibilities. They studied RadiantLink, they asked a lot of questions and eventually convinced their employers to install the system. The teachers began teaching the installation and service of the RadiantLink system at the North American Trade Schools campus in London, ON (847 Highbury Ave). They saw what many others could not see - a greener future and an industry that should be owned by Canadians.
This is what happens when innovators meet with enthusiasts; they change energy guzzling basements into media rooms and man caves. They transform the energy usage of recaptured real estate and reduce the Canadian carbon foot print. Because that is what we do in Canada, we make things better.
So who are these London teachers?
What made them get excited? That is the story, and that story is about to change how Canadians and Americans live in their man caves and media rooms. That story is going to soften our environmental footprint and who knew it all started here in London Ontario.
