About
Ken Hultquist is an Energy Engineer within the ERC. After completing an undergraduate degree in Engineering Technology, he worked in manufacturing robotics and automation for several years. Feeling compelled by climate change and the need to reduce carbon emissions led him to pursue amaster’s degree in Energy Engineering fromthe University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). During his tenure at UIC he participated in the industrial assessment center (IAC) conducting ASHRAE level audits of commercial and industrial facilities as well as providing screenings for the combined heat and power technical assistance program(CHP-TAP). After receiving his graduate degree fromUIC he worked at a non-profit R&D firmfor two years working on high efficiency domestic water and space heating “combi” heat pump systems, automated modular building construction, and building envelope retrofit technologies. He has since rejoined the team at the ERC with a focus on distributed energy, CHP, and agrivoltaics.
