DSM Planning, directly from the TRM

Nearly eliminate measure characterization.
Start Benefit-Cost Analysis
directly from the TRM.

trim.energy integrates NASEO's open-source OpenBCA model directly with 19 states' Technical Reference Manuals. Automatically generate permutations of a TRM measure, select the ones you need, and begin a Benefit-Cost Analysis without retyping or converting formulas. The same collaborative platform helps intervenors debate updates to TRM measures without marking up 800+ page Word docs full of formulas.

Measure characterization slows DSM Planning.

Before analysis can begin, teams hunt through hundreds of PDF pages, retype each measure's formulas and assumptions, and convert them for a separate BCA model. The same work is repeated every planning cycle.

kWh_saved = (Watts_base - Watts_ee) × Hours × ISR × (1 + IF) ...

TRMs and BCA models are disconnected

Measure formulas live in 800+ page manuals, while planning models live elsewhere. Moving from one to the other requires a manual translation.

Measure characterization is manual

Consultants read the TRM, find every relevant input and formula, then retype and reshape them before Benefit-Cost Analysis can start.

Measure permutations multiply quickly

Climate zones, building types, technologies, and other dimensions create thousands of permutations that are difficult to model and audit in spreadsheets.

TRM updates repeat the same pain

Developers collaborate by marking up 800+ page Word documents full of formulas, making review, version comparison, and supporting evidence difficult to manage.

From TRM measure to DSM Plan

trim.energy connects source formulas, measure permutations, OpenBCA analysis, and collaborative TRM updates in one environment.

01

"Measure characterization is slow and repetitive"

OpenBCA is integrated directly with 19 states' TRMs, so source formulas and assumptions are ready for Benefit-Cost Analysis without retyping or conversion.

02

"Every measure has too many permutations"

Automatically generate valid permutations of TRM measures, then select the ones you want to include in a Benefit-Cost Analysis for your DSM Plan.

03

"Spreadsheets can't handle the complexity"

A multidimensional formula language reduces the number of formulas by 99% compared with spreadsheets, while GPU-accelerated calculation handles vast permutations.

04

"Results are hard to trace back to the TRM"

Navigate from any result to its formulas, dependencies, and source assumptions for each permutation without hunting through appendix tables.

05

"Updating a TRM means marking up a giant document"

Collaborate on formulas in real time with supporting evidence, debate, permissions, and version history attached directly to each formula.

06

"AI can't help when formulas are locked in PDFs"

Use trim.energy inside ChatGPT, Claude, or another chatbot for AI assistance researching and writing formulas in a structured, traceable environment.
