Our research is collaborative, working with governments, public bodies, business and civil society, and is geared to co-development of knowledge and capacity building.
We advise Scottish and UK Governments on low carbon heat and energy efficiency strategies, as well as on aspects of climate change plans, fuel poverty, heat supply standards and customer protections.
We also work with leading edge local and regional governments, the Energy Systems Catapult Smart Systems and Heat team, the Sustainable Scotland Network, the UK Committee on Climate Change, the UK Energy Research Centre and the Centre for Research on Energy Demands Solutions.
