Jane Peters

Jane S. Peters, Ph.D., President, has more than 25 years of experience in customer research; market assessment; program performance measurement; and evaluation focusing on energy efficiency, renewable energy and other environmental issues. Dr. Peters is well known for her qualitative research, including process and market evaluations and focus group moderation, and quantitative assessment of behavioral or indirect impacts (such as from education or marketing). Since 1982, Dr. Peters' work has focused on measuring the effectiveness of energy efficiency programs offered to residential, commercial, and industrial end-users. Dr. Peters is best known for her process evaluations of energy efficiency programs and since 2003 has been the principal investigator for the process evaluations of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) Energy $mart portfolio. Other projects include process evaluations of Energy Trust of Oregon's Building Efficiency and Production Efficiency programs; market progress evaluations of the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance BetterBricks initiatives, most recently the Grocery, Hospital and Real Estate Initiatives; and process evaluations of 20 of Southern California Edison's Innovative Design for Energy Efficiency Activities (IDEEA) programs.

Dr. Peters also is the author of the white paper for the California Institute for Energy Efficiency on lessons learned from 30 years of process evaluations of energy efficiency programs. Prior to starting Research Into Action in July 1996, Dr. Peters was a principal with Barakat & Chamberlin, Inc. in their Portland, Oregon office.

Dr. Peters has a Ph.D. in Urban Studies from Portland State University, and an A.B. in Psychology from Occidental College.
