About Rocco Sucato

Since 2011, I have focused on the design and implementation of Energy Efficiency and Sustainability programs and projects involving city, state, federal, commercial, industrial, and utility-based clients and communities. My most impactful roles have involved demand response, rebates & incentives, grid analysis, non-wires, emerging technology, pilot programs, quantification surveys, benchmarking, sustainability, environmental compliance, and hazardous waste management. In my energy efficiency and sustainability roles, I have focused on the development and implementation of new initiatives, identifying opportunities to improve existing programs, reduce operating costs, and expanding impact to new communities and clients. Day to day efforts have varief from conducting detailed data analysis and visualizations, addressing regulatory and contractual hurdles, field work, ASHRAE II energy audits, and implementing pilot efficiency programs at the utility and municipal level.Previous experiences also include designing and implementing large scale asset inventory programs with leadership experience on projects which combined safety, communication, technology, endurance, and quality controls for commercial, city and region-wide assets needed in investigations, mergers, acquisitions, and other private/public negotiations.Prior to acheive my mater\'s and entering energy and environmental roles, I spent 8+ years focused in marketing, public relations, risk management, sales, and/or commercial construction.
