Quest’s vision and strategy

 

QUEST – Quality Urban Energy Systems of Tomorrow – is a national non-profit organization advancing education and research for integrated energy systems (linking energy with land-use, buildings, transportation, waste, water and wastewater at a community, neighbourhood or site level) to develop and support sustainable communities in Canada. They are committed to making integrated community energy systems and solutions (ICES) the new standard for land-use and transportation planning and development. QUEST does research, policy analysis, outreach and capacity building to assist communities, utilities and the broader community-building sector.

    QUEST is working to achieve its mission and vision by working with community builders to: 

• Encourage a balanced and informative conversation about energy;

• Support the development of expertise and capacity across Canada for integrated energy systems; 

• Prepare inclusive and independent applied research for the broader public interest;  and

• Create a collaborative framework for communities and key stakeholders to understand and to work on their energy futures.
