The Refrigeration Service Engineers Society (RSES) announced the names of several Eastern region members who were awarded RSES Certificate Member (CM) and Certificate Member Specialist (CMS) status in April 2008.

In order to become a CM, a RSES member must first pass a rigorous examination that tests the knowledge required to install and service refrigeration and air conditioning equipment. CM-level members are recognized industry-wide as having achieved a superior level of HVACR knowledge, says RSES. The CM exam is based heavily on theory and practical applications.

The following RSES members passed the CM exam in April 2008 and were awarded CM status: Thomas A. Donmoyer, CM, of the Lehigh Valley Chapter, Allentown, Pa.; Michael D. O’Hare, CM, of the Lehigh Valley Chapter, Allentown, Pa.; Jeremy G. Smith, CM, of the Greater Pittsburgh Chapter, Pittsburgh; Brian M. Thomas, CM, of the Lehigh Valley Chapter; and William J. Winmill, CM, of the Boston Chapter, Boston.

To obtain CMS status, a RSES member must first pass the CM examination. CMS status is earned by passing one or more of the eight Specialist examinations available. Specialist exam categories include: commercial refrigeration, commercial air conditioning, heating, controls, domestic service, HVACR electrical, heat pumps, and dynamic compression.

The following RSES members passed a CMS exam in April 2008 and were awarded CMS status: Joseph F. Badolato, CMS, of the Metropolitan N.Y. Chapter, New York, passed the CMS exam in HVACR electrical.
