Sauder graduate Janice is an avid leader and entrepreneur; she has increased awareness of energy consumption throughout B.C. households by innvating and creating a new device called Energy Aware. It is a great example of how simple devices can create great change and open new business opportunities. Janice’s visit to our commerce 101 class was an enlightening one and she gave us knowledge that one can procreate and make change in the modern world with creativity and with the ability to take risks for any given opportunity. Increasing awareness of our energy consumption, we want to minimize costs in how much kWh we consume. Energy Aware has made it feasible for consumers to reduce the amount of energy they use and also gives them an incentive to conserve energy and therefore “save” the environment.

Janice used BC Hydro’s company to her advantage; she has collaborated with BC Hydro and made a device that could track energy consumption off of data streams recorded from smart meters. In essence, Janice’s device relies on BC Hydro to sustain her  company. In my opinion, in order to maintain her company healthy, she must create more innovative products that can increase her product diversities whether it be smart phone apps, or creating a new device that can increase more awareness of saving energy.
