Our staff has evaluated hundreds of energy-efficiency and demand-response programs within California, the Northwest, New England, Florida, Hawaii, and beyond. Our measurements are widely recognized as being valid and valuable. Many of QC’s impact evaluations for our California clients were required as part of their Annual Earnings Assessment Proceedings (AEAP), and their earning mechanism was based entirely on the results of these studies. QC’s findings were closely scrutinized by contractors that were hired by the California Public Utility Commissions Office of Ratepayer Advocates and found to be of the highest quality in California.

Process Evaluation

Our process evaluations help refine program delivery procedures and make them more effective and efficient. Clients use our process evaluation results to reduce the cost of fielding new and existing products and services; to redesign internal processes, increasing staff productivity and job satisfaction; and most importantly, to increase customer satisfaction and market penetration.
