History
TRC had its origins with the Travelers Weather Research Center, an affiliate of the Travelers Insurance Company. In the late 1960s, a small group of environmental quality and waste management employees decided to strike out on their own as The Research Corporation of New England, also known as TRC.
Throughout the decades, the company has been a leader in setting industry standards and establishing innovative program models. TRC was the first company to conduct a major indoor air study as it related to outdoor air quality standards. We also developed innovative measurements standards for fugitive emissions and ventilation standards for schools and hospitals in the 1960’s; managed the monitoring program and sampled for pollutants at EPA’s Love Canal Project in the 1970s; developed the basis for many EPA air and hazardous waste regulations in the 1980s; pioneered guaranteed fixed price remediation in the 1990’s and earned an ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Award for outstanding energy efficiency program services provided to the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority in the 2000’s.
