Chet Knaup

Chet’s interest in energy efficiency began in 2000, while working for an HVAC manufacturer.

Over the past 20 years, Chet has had the unique opportunity to work on energy efficient projects in numerous states and multiple countries across five continents.  His passion for developing unique methods of energy reduction has never wavered.
