Founded in 2000, Walker-Miller is a Certified B Corporation and trusted partner with deep roots in the energy industry. Through an equity lens, the company provides thought leadership to utilities, municipalities, businesses, and communities to help achieve energy reduction goals and drive the benefits of clean energy to all communities. With one of the most diverse teams in the industry, our team members design programs, source products, train inclusive workforces, and research and develop innovations that drive the broad adoption of energy efficient practices and behaviors. We have honed a special competency of successfully engaging marginalized communities that have not historically participated in energy efficiency programs. These efforts help decrease the energy burdens on local families and businesses, create jobs, diversify the local energy workforce, and serve the needs of asset limited income constrained families with compassion.

We are intentional about creating an energy workforce that reflects the rich diversity of this country, aggressively recruiting Black people and people of color, women, people within LGBTQIA+ communities, people living with disabilities, returning citizens, and veterans. As minorities and women are still woefully underrepresented in the energy industry, and even more so in the fastest growing segments, we place particular emphasis on both recruiting and developing talent from these underrepresented demographics, providing them an onramp to the energy industry.

Through implementing a wide range of energy efficiency programs, we understand the unique set of challenges income qualified families face that may limit their adoption of energy efficient behaviors and access to the associated benefits. We pride ourselves on meeting families where they are – without judgement – to take on the challenge of actively facilitating awareness first, followed by access and uptake of energy efficiency programs. Success in the income qualified customer segment requires innovative and solutions-driven methods for removing barriers. In energy efficiency program implementation efforts Walker-Miller leverages all resources, internal and external, to yield maximum benefits. We do not just engage the communities we serve; we are the community.

Empowered by the company culture of kind excellence, our team consistently achieves energy efficiency program goals, and delivers the highest customer satisfaction ratings in the industry. Known for leading with her humanity, Carla Walker-Miller instituted thesecore values throughout the company, embedding them throughout all our operational processes: Boldly Go above and beyond with Humble Confidence, Inclusive Stewardship, and an abiding commitment to Value Reputations, while delivering Extraordinary Experiences for team members, clients, and stakeholders.

Walker-Miller has curated a diverse, talented team of engineers, certified energy managers (CEM), BPI certified energy analysts, building analysts, Six Sigma practitioners, and other professionals to deliver exceptional energy efficiency services. The company’s credentials as a certified BPI Goldstar Contractor allow us to train with industry best practices in mind and staff programs with individuals who hold safety and customer satisfaction paramount. Through our Department of Energy (DOE) Home Energy Score Partnership, we continue to empower families to understand the systems and behaviors that contribute to their energy burdens.
