In 2012, an MBA intern at Sifton Properties Ltd. had to decide on a recommendation to top management about the installation of a renewable energy installation for the company's new community development project in London, Ontario. The intern had to consider numerous internal and external factors in his decision-making process. Three emerging technologies were specifically relevant for renewable energy systems: aquifer thermal energy storage, sewer heat recovery, or anaerobic digestion and cogeneration. The intern needed to consider the social, environmental, and financial impact of each energy generation system and the preferences of varied stakeholder groups.
