Key Players

Mindscape Innovations is managed by a pair of “Managing Partners” who effectively operate as co-CEO’s.

Derek Satnik, P.Eng., LEED® AP
Managing Partner

Derek Satnik is a member of the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC)'s "LEED for Homes" committee and "LEED for Neighbourhood Developments" Energy and GHG sub-committee, a director at the Ontario Sustainable Energy Association (OSEA), at Community Renewable Energy Waterloo (CREW) and at Local Initiative for Future Energy (LIFE), and a member of the Net-Zero Energy Home Coalition (NZEHC) and of Conestoga College's Program Advisory Committee supporting the development of a renewable energy trades program. Derek participated in three of the five Ontario design teams that competed in CMHC's national "EQuilibrium" healthy housing competition (including the winning Now House team in Toronto), and he has been involved with Natural Resource Canada's "Solar Ready" program. In short, Derek can speak with authority about emerging trends in "green" construction rating systems, especially for the residential sector, and in the renewable energy industries, especially wind and solar.

Derek is an Electrical Engineer by trade, and has worked in the consulting industry in various roles since 1999, most notably with Stantec Consulting Ltd., Enermodal Engineering Ltd, and now Mindscape Innovations Group Inc. Derek’s personal experience ranges from design of power / lighting / communications / controls systems for the commercial, institutional, and industrial sectors, to more general aspects of sustainable design and energy efficiency as a Sustainability Engineer and LEED Consultant.

Derek is directing Mindscape’s activities within the realm of “green” or “sustainable” design.
