A Leader in Sustainability

We take this moment to honor and remember a key part of our company's success, Samuel Klein. An innovator, educator, and tireless advocate for sustainable design, Samuel's vision and leadership have been the bedrock upon which GEMM stands.

​

From organizing 'Becoming Greener' at Arcadia University in 2015 to receiving the prestigious New Jersey Preservation Society Award for Green Building in 2010, Samuel's career was filled with dedication to sustainability. As a key member of the Einstein Board of Directors until his last days, his influence and commitment extended beyond our organization, leaving a profound impact on the wider field.

He left an indelible mark as a panelist at NYSAFAH in 2013, a presenter on multiple occasions, including the International Codes Conference at Villanova University in 2011, and as an author with an excerpt in 'Sustainable Residential Interiors' in 2014. As a reviewer for the EPA Municipal Codes Tool Kit in 2010, his analytical and critical thinking helped shape policy and practice in our field. Since then, Sam made progressive achievements in successfully implementing energy efficiency and renewable energy programs in residential and commercial markets and led the nation in developing the LEED® market. Sam founded GEMM digital in 2020 to make it efficient and accessible for all buildings to go green.
