We believe that the best successes for new strategies come from applying real-world insights and experiences on the ground. Decarbonization requires a holistic, intersectional perspective as a systems-level challenge. TRC approaches this challenge by bringing together diverse aspects of the built environment—from energy to infrastructure, environment, digital, and social aspects—through decades worth of completed projects, integrated plans, and portfolio solutions.
Problem-solving for decarbonization also requires genuine, inclusive relationships—with our clients, the people they serve, community organizations, industry colleagues, and others. To that end, TRC has developed a network of community-based liaisons, compensated partners who represent populations across a client’s service territory that historically have been underserved, to examine and inform all aspects of energy program design and implementation from the end-user perspective. The intent of this relationship-driven network is to place a focus on serving customers of color, those customers for whom English is not their first language, those living in rural communities, and those navigating low incomes.
