How our model applies to different stakeholders
Utilities benefit from access to cost-effective research, testing and innovation.
Industries benefit from a pool of highly qualified personnel.
Society benefits from efficient, accessible electricity and a cleaner environment.
Governments benefit from policy and technical implementation, white papers, reports and a vision for whole energy systems.
Students benefit from working and/or training directly with industry partners.
TCHC has been working collaboratively with TMU’s CUE on an electrical research study that is exploring opportunities for electrical metering, aggregation and building heating system electrification within TCHC’s large portfolio of over 2,000 buildings. This study presents an exciting opportunity to reduce our overall electricity bills and to reduce carbon emissions associated with heating systems. We’re looking forward to the results of this study and how it can inform how we operate our portfolio moving forward.
