Whole-System Approach
ERT's philosophy and approach to finding energy solutions is founded on optimizing whole-systems -- a principle that distinguishes Rocky Mountain Institute's research and consulting teams.
Typically, problems are defined within a narrow scope and the causes or connections to a problem are overlooked.
ERT is able to see an entire system and analyze all of the interconnections simultaneously.
This method often leads to drastic increases in efficiency and “big-picture solutions.”
