Happy Holidays!
 We
want to take a moment and thank our friends, colleagues, and clients who have
made 2009 such an outstanding year. During our first year, we have continued our
long-standing relationships with many of our clients as well as embarked on several
new projects and opportunities. While we continued to focus on program evaluation,
we have also assisted with other activities including: program design,
education and training, case studies, and updating our books and technical
papers. During the past year, we've traveled coast-to-coast as well as
internationally to share our ideas and provide expertise in energy efficiency
program evaluation and design.
Highlights from 2009
include:
Completing 12 process evaluations for
Northern California Power Authority members Conducting the Second Year Evaluation
of HECO's Solar Saver Program Hosting a delegation from Tokyo Gas and
Jyukankyo Research Institute Assisting with several program
evaluations with Summit Blue for Hydro One, the Energy Trust of Oregon, and the
California Public Utilities Commission Publishing the 4th Edition
of GHP Programs on behalf of the Western Area Power Authority Leading technology-specific workshops
for Grand Basin G&T throughout the Midwest and Teaching energy efficiency workshops on
behalf of the Association of Energy Services Professionals (AESP) and the
National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA)
We have many more exciting projects planned for 2010.
But we want to take this opportunity to wish everyone "Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year!"
