Does a professional Multifamily Market Study exist?

Does anyone know of professional MARKET STUDY results to assess the demand for home performance, weatherization or other related services for multifamily buildings? Please advise if you can offer any information regarding existing market studies and/or resources that might be engaged to conduct such a study of our target markets (Virginia and/or mid-Atlantic region).
