Technical Interviews Sample Clauses

Technical Interviews. One of the purposes of the screening interviews was to identify potential contacts for more in-depth interviews later. Most of these were face-to-face, but there was also a provision for conducting longer technical interviews by phone where this was preferable. This was in fact often the case – especially with chemicals suppliers, foam producers and systems houses. The screening interview scripts, questionnaires and templates contained standard questions on follow-up interviews and the team members asked for follow-ups where they found an informative and approachable respondent. Team members also asked interviewees for their opinions on likely further contacts and/or data sources that the project team could then pursue. The project team completed 84 technical interviews. Project team members Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx, XXXXX Inc. and RJR Inc. were able to pursue contacts in their own networks to arrange technical interviews where appropriate and other targets emerged from screening interviews. See Appendix 2 for a list of interviewees. These interviews went into more depth on buildings, refrigeration and other foam using sectors and to filled data gaps identified previously. The results from these interviews were combined with the records generated from the screening interviews and assessed for quality. Key data were prepared for inputs into the emissions model that was completed by Xxxxx.
