Using Logic Models to Improve and Enhance Nonresidential Programs

摘要

The authors of this paper were assigned the task of developing logic models forNYSERDA's nonresidential sector programs.1 The major activity for the 2003 nonresidentiallogic-modeling efforts focused on the New Construction Program (NCP), which was initiated in2000.Developing a logic model that described the NCP as it was implemented was notdifficult. The program analysis step analyzed the logic model relative to a literature review,including theoretical papers and evaluations of other nonresidential new construction programs.The review revealed opportunities that the program managers could consider for increasing thelikelihood of the program achieving its goals.The process of developing the logic model, exploring different theories and then bringingthese to the attention of the program implementation team had a variety of challenges. In the end,while no changes have been made to the program, the program implementation team is nowalerted to opportunities for potential revisions to the NCP.
