Francis co-authors Article for Octane Magazine.
Francis Lapointe and Duro Bicanic have co-authored an article on ways to 'green' a car wash, one of the most water and energy wasteful industries in Canada today. The article recommends ways in which a car wash can be made more sustainable, including reclaiming heat from waste wash water, harvesting rain water to flush toilets and building with local and durable materials. To read the article, see page 14 in http://www.octanemagazine.ca/issues/Octane_Mar08.pdf
