Abstract

This paper uses the example of an evaluation of a UK Department of the Environment-funded research programme on environmental design and performance of non-domestic buildings to explore the issues surrounding the identification of research impacts at various levels. It offers a framework for the evaluation of the impacts of strategic research upon both government policy and industrial practice. The importance of integrating research and diffusion strategies is illustrated. The impacts of the research are understood partly through an assessment of the different networks in which researchers and their institutes participate, and by examining the forms in which the research results are offered to the various professionals to be reached. Finally there are some general lessons about the evaluation of strategic energy research programmes. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
