Peter Love recently formed Love Energy Consultants to advance sustainability.  In 2005, he became Ontario’s first Chief Energy Conservation Officer to provide leadership in electricity conservation and promote a culture of conservation.  Earlier in his career, he worked with the Pollution Probe to develop the 3Rs motto “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” and was a cofounder of the Movement against Acid Rain.

Peter Love formed Love Energy Consultants Inc.’s to foster culture change as part of his commitment to advancing sustainability.  He provides strategic advice as a consultant, associate, facilitator or director on an individual basis or as an associate with selected firms. 

In 2005, Peter was recruited as Ontario’s first Chief Energy Conservation Officer with the Ontario Power Authority where his focus was on providing leadership in electricity conservation and advancing a conservation culture in Ontario.  He was a leader in setting among the most aggressive targets for conservation in North America and reported that Ontario met its first conservation target of a five percent peak demand reduction by the end of 2007.

Previously, Peter was the Executive Director of the Canadian Energy Efficiency Alliance, co-founder of the Summerhill Group and was responsible for managing the R-2000 and Energy Star New Homes programs. He also authored the first assessment of the potential for biomass energy in Canada in 1980.  An active volunteer, Love serves on the National Advisory Committee on Energy Efficiency and the Greening Greater Toronto Task Force; previously, he was Chair of the Non-Smokers’ Rights Association and co-founder of the Movement Against Acid Rain.

No stranger to the concept of a “cultural shift” in the Province, early in his career Peter worked as a project coordinator for Pollution Probe with the team that developed the 3Rs campaign “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”. 

In recognition of Peter’s commitment to sustainable buildings and energy efficiency, he was inducted into the EnerQuality/R-2000 Hall of Fame and earned a Lifetime Achievement Award from Sustainable Buildings Canada.
