Energy
whatIf? Technologies has been active in the field of energy systems analysis since its founding in 1989 and indeed since the founders' work on the Socio-Economic Resource model and its antecedents at Statistics Canada in the 1980s.
This experience, in combination with the whatIf? Modeling Platform, makes whatIf? Technologies a leader in the area of energy systems analysis. Two sets of services are offered:
-
Analytic services based on the use of of the Canadian Energy Systems Simulator (CanESS) developed by whatIf? Technologies
-
Development of custom energy models for nations, regions, municipalities and utilities concerned with the production and use of energy and and related emissions of greenhouse gases and criteria air contaminants
Custom Energy Models
whatIf? Technologies combines its custom modelling expertise and energy systems subject matter experience to offer custom energy systems modelling services. Learn more about the whatIf? Custom Modelling Process here.
