Don McLauchlan

Throughout his 50 years in this industry, Don has been passionate about energy efficiency and practical solutions that are sustainable while meeting or exceeding our clients’ expectations.

As a founding partner, my most important role has been providing visionary leadership and helping define who we are and that we consistently follow our guiding principles.

For me, our vision statement is both grounding and energizing and gives meaning and context for all the hard work we all love.

When I am not at Elara, you may find me biking on off-road trails, spending time with my grandchildren, or trying to make a putt on the golf course.
