We have extensive experience conducting process evaluation of energy efficiency and demand response programs. The goal of process evaluation is to assess program effectiveness and identify potential areas of improvement. Process evaluations can provide feedback from the perspective of customers, trade allies, program administrators and other stakeholder groups. Ultimately, the goal is to provide actionable findings and recommendations that can positively impact our clients’ programs.

Our Approach
In conducting process evaluation of energy programs, we typically investigate a number of topics, listed below. A key to our approach is flexibility – the ability to apply our assortment of research tools effectively to answer both the recurring research questions and address new issues that are identified in each evaluation or that arise with changes to the programs or the markets in which they operate.
