Research and Data Collection Sample Clauses

Research and Data Collection. A key element of this study is to conduct end-use saturation studies to develop a baseline of energy utilization characteristics from residential, commercial, and industrial customers in Illinois as well as to document trends in the saturation of efficient equipment over time. While this study aims to provide inputs to the potential study, it is also designed to serve asa stand-alone end-use study, supplying information useful for energy efficiency program development, system planning, and obtaining a general understanding of the energy- using equipment in the state. Much of the proposed data collection and research methodology for the baseline study will leverage the ComEd &I Saturation/End-Use, Market Penetration & Behavioral Study conducted in 2012. While at his previous firm, Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, the research and data collection lead for this project, led the C&I data collection for that large-scale baseline study. Using a similar design will allow us to examine changes in building stock over time as well as bolster the available information for the customers of Ameren and Nicor Gas. We will use the lessons learned from that study, as well as our team’s extensive experience fielding similar studies since then, so that the industry’s best practices are used. Most importantly, we will workwith the Utilities throughout the research design process to ensure that we collect and report on what is most valuable and do not needlessly collect excess data.

Research and Data Collection. All research activities involving the use of human subjects must be reviewed and approved by ASU and the NATION’s respective Institutional Review Boards and must be undertaken in compliance with all policies of the NATION and ASU and the Arizona Board of Regents before data collection can begin. Researchers may not solicit subject participation or begin data collection until they have received written approval from both respective Institutional Review Boards.

Research and Data Collection. 2.1 Set up infrastructure for housing data, documents, and research products Consideration needs to be given to a data management and infrastructure strategy for housing and securing data for the plan. A data management and infrastructure strategy will: compile, and safeguard sensitive and cultural data, data library standards, backup and data safety, mapping and GIS capacity, internet access to data, and updating strategies to keep the data library up-to- date.

Research and Data Collection. Xxxxxx-Xxxx collected a substantial amount of data during the PID phase relevant to the project including record maps from private and public utilities (responses on Utility “A” letters), as-built plans from the City of Lancaster and Caltrans, right of way maps from Caltrans, County Assessor Parcel Maps, USGS aerial photos and available contour maps. In the PA&ED phase Xxxxxx-Xxxx will continue to build the database of existing data including: · Transit lines and stops from Antelope Valley Transit Agency · Future planned projects on the State Highway System from Caltrans · Future planned roadways within the City limits (CIP) from the City · Utility verification information including potholing or other means of utility detection · Follow-up with private utilities on facilities that would be in conflict with the project improvements · Planning documents being prepared by the City for the Complete Streets Master Plan, the Citywide Signal Coordination effort, and other development and CIP projects as they are identified Task 3 Surveying and Mapping (AESI & KHA)

Research and Data Collection. 1. City shall provide all applicable City of Arlington reports, maps, plats, record drawings, maintenance logs, GIS data, existing sanitary sewer TV inspection videos, field logs and reports etc. at no cost to the Engineer.
