ASHRAE revises energy auditor certification to meet DOE guidelines
ASHRAE has announced revised requirements for its energy auditor certification, Building Energy Assessment Professional (BEAP). The revised requirements, which will take effect Thursday, March 16, 2017, will provide earners with recognition by United States 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 ASHRAE President Tim Wentz, who holds an ASHRAE high-performance building design certification. “DOE recognition of ASHRAE’s Building Energy Assessment Professional (BEAP) 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.”
