In 2008, Summerhill undertook a research project for Quality Urban Energy Systems for Tomorrow (QUEST), a collaborative network of representatives from industry, environmental groups, government, academia, and consulting communities working together to make Canada a world leader in urban integrated energy systems. As part of this project, Summerhill identified and described the work being done by key stakeholder groups across Canada who have advocated for and/or appear ready to support initiatives similar to those being pursued by QUEST. Summerhill also evaluated various partnership opportunities and highlighted emerging market trends in order to assist QUEST in its strategic planning process.
