HISTORY BKi was founded in Oakland, California, in 1981 by Oreste Bevilacqua and Bob Knight. The company has grown to over 40 employees and added offices in Los Angeles and West Sacramento. Facilitating collaborative teams to speed the development and introduction of new technology has been a BKi hallmark across the company’s 34 years. Notable early achievements include importing electric vans from England for one of the first fleet trials of modern EV technology, developing PC-based software for estimating the utility and societal benefits of power industry R&D, and training contractors for whole house residential energy efficiency analyses. Today, we work chiefly on energy and water efficiency programs, advanced power plants with CO2 capture, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Throughout all the changes, Reste and Bob’s formula of stakeholder engagement and collaborative research to bring environmentally beneficial technologies to market has remained valid and continues to define BKi’s mission of Moving Innovations Into Action.
