Portfolio Manager User Research Recruitment Survey

Thank you for volunteering to participate in future ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager user research activities! Incorporating feedback from real users such as yourself is one of EPA's top priorities, and assists in making sure that Portfolio Manager is effective, efficient and meets the satisfaction of the people using it.

We are integrating user research activities into our regular operations, and therefore need a group of participants who we can reach out to as needed. You may not be contacted right away, but we plan to reach out to different people each time, so you should be hearing from us within the next several months.

We just need to collect a little bit of information from you in order to sign you up to be one of our participants!
