2020 Target
Managing Our Office Energy Footprint
As a professional services firm, TRC’ s primary greenhouse gas( GHG) emissions are generated through our office energy use( electricity and natural gas) and our business travel.
Based on the nature of our business, energy consumption associated with our office footprint is one of the significant ways we impact the environment through associated emissions. Our energy action plan, which consists of a multi-tiered approach to our office energy footprint, focuses on:
> > Improving data collection and record- keeping
> > Installing energy efficient measures where proven cost-effective( i. e. LED lighting, issuing smart strips, and installing programmable thermostats)
> > Identifying specific cost-effective energy savings opportunities in offices with large energy consumption
> > Improving employee energy behavior through information sharing
2020 Target
Reduce energy consumption by 20 % by 2020, normalized to FTEs
Office Energy Consumption from FY14 baseline
