Speaker Bio
Joe has spent over 15 years in the energy efficiency industry selling and designing measures. After managing a national ESCO’s PA Branch for 5 years, he left to run the Measure and Verification division of Commercial and Industrial Rebate programs for PPL Electric Utilities. At PPL, Joe helped develop the Midstream Protocol for the state of PA and co-authored a research paper on the Thermostatic Restriction Valve that was published and used in the PA TRM. Joe then became the Director of Auditing for Wesco Energy Solutions, helping to audit over 200 million sq ft domestically and internationally, and training team members across the globe on their auditing platform. He created UMS in 2018, with the vision to be a partner to our clients by offering value-add services for their customer base. Joe has since trained and developed a team of experts in auditing, rebates, and project management in order for this vision to come to fruition. With his expertise, Joe is also assisting NALMCO in drafting the industry's first lighting auditor certification.
