About Jesse Smith

My work is centered around estimating the impacts of demand side interventions to alter the way homes and businesses use energy. Since entering the energy industry I have been involved in the evaluation, measurement and verification (EM & V) of a wide variety of demand response, dynamic pricing, and energy efficiency programs implemented by electric and gas utilities across North America. I specialize in statistical analysis of energy usage data, sampling, experimental design, and benefit cost modeling. I use SAS and Stata for most analyses, and am proficient with SQL for data acquisition and management.
