Research Energy advice

We research and analyse aspects of sustainable energy to understand better the challenges we face and the quality of solutions being proposed. Through evaluation activity, we get to know what does and doesn’t work and use this knowledge to inform our practice and that of others. By applying our knowledge of data and software development skills we create analytical tools which enable new insight and understanding.
