Program Market Connection


Project Goals
The goal of the Market Connection Project is to guide the market focus of the Program and to increase the adoption and public benefits impact of the projects products and results. The successful outcome of the Market Connection Project can be measured by: a) private sector adoption of technologies and practices from the Program and b) regulatory and voluntary mechanisms that influence the integration of the results into the market and that exist as a result of this project.

Project Objectives
The objectives of this project are to:
  • Establish communications and information exchange methods, schedules and priorities within the Program team specific to their project and the needs of the market connection effort.
  • Solicit input early in the project from program market partners, PAC members, industry representatives, associations, owners, developers, regulators, manufacturers and contractors. Document the participation and perspective of these players and establish rationale for decisions on project activities based on consideration of the Program objectives and market feedback.
  • Identify key contacts and opportunities to leverage the Program team, PAC, and market partners connections to increase the distribution, penetration and benefits of the Program results.
  • Work within the following three markets to create a comprehensive approach toward the adoption of the results: 1) California Market Development, 2) National Market Development, and 3) Policy Intervention Strategies. Apply the following activities within those markets to successfully crosscut opportunities for maximum public benefits from the PIER program: a) Codes and Standards, b) Voluntary Programs, and c) Market Transformation Initiatives.
