Name:
Steph Berkland
OR-MEP Role:
Program Manager, Oregon Multifamily Energy Program
What motivates you in this role?
The OR-MEP team and the passionate individuals supporting low-income Oregonians. In my role I have the fortune of working with the program staff (TRC), OHCS staff, project teams, and other stakeholders. All are a blast to work with!
What excites you most about the Multifamily Energy Program?
I love working with multifamily buildings because of the complexities this building type inherently has with its systems and planning for multiple tenants. The program allows me to work with diverse projects and serve a variety of needs. Every project is different, which keeps things interesting.
What is one fun fact about you that you think people would love to know?
My favorite element is wind (except in extreme cold).
What is your favorite place that you’ve traveled to in Oregon?
The whole state is a gem. If I had to pick one place I would say Bend because of its proximity to the Cascades, wide range of recreation activities, art scene, laid back culture, and amazing food.
