About
Sam Rinaldi serves as Program Coordinator at the Energy Resources Center (ERC), an interdisciplinary public service, research, and special projects organization working to advance energy sustainability and improve the environment, based out of the University of Illinois Chicago College of Engineering. Sam has 20+ years of dynamic leadership experience in business development in Europe, South America, and the United States. Upon return stateside, Sam has focused efforts on business development within the area of energy efficiency across the Midwest. Among his memorable accomplishments was the establishment of the Public Sector Trade Ally Program in partnership with the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO/ Illinois State Energy Office). Sam also serves as primary support and leadership on various Midwest Cogeneration Association (MCA) committees. This organization advances understanding of the carbon-reducing potential of combined heat and power systems. Sam also continues to synergize efforts between regional utilities, OSP, and public institutions to accelerate the adoption of energy efficiency measures. Through assisting institutions such as K-12 schools, libraries, and municipalities over the years, Sam has helped move the needle in reducing energy consumption by guiding organizations through one capital improvement at a time. With a keen understanding of where policy, business, and energy needs converge, Sam invites anyone to learn more about collaborating with the Energy Resources Center to answer their energy efficiency needs.
