ATLANTA - A market research survey conducted last year by The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), showed a strong interest by members in providing certification. More than 80 percent of members indicated that ASHRAE should offer certification to individuals who complete a series of courses/seminars in a specific area of study.
In response to member and market demand, ASHRAE is exploring a certification program that will focus on areas of the building environment such as commissioning, health care facility engineering, building operation, and sustainability.
