Technical Assistance

The United Nations describes technical assistance as "specialists, consultants, trainers, advisers, etc. contracted for the transfer of know-how and skills and the creation and strengthening of institutions."

We prefer to think of ourselves simply, as problem solvers.

While practical experience within and intuition about the industry are necessary, more important are the methodologies used to understand and resolve situations. The development of the Expanded Public Benefits Model helped us quantify the societal impacts of low-income energy efficiency initiatives in Quebec. The outcome demonstrates that scientific methods and innovation must coexist to answer complex issues.
