ASHRAE announces revised requirements for its energy auditor certification
ATLANTA — ASHRAE revised the requirements for its Building Energy Assessment Professional (BEAP) energy auditor certification. The revised requirements, which took effect March 16, will provide earners with recognition by U.S. government agencies for contracts requiring energy audit services.
“This update will not only help ensure the continued validity and relevance of ASHRAE’s energy auditor certification but also add value,” said Tim Wentz, president, ASHRAE, who holds an ASHRAE high-performance building design certification. “DOE [U.S. Department of Energy] recognition of ASHRAE’s Building Energy Assessment Professional certification will help ensure quality services are provided by these professionals as well as increase consumer confidence in the service provided and ultimately ensure the quality and performance of buildings.”
