[Bldg-sim] ASHRAE BEMP Exam - Study Group ?

[mike barker]

Brian,

 

There is talk of ASHRAE running a training course soon ? 

 

And well done to Dave, you must be one of the very few ASHRAE BEMP's about !

 

Are there any people out there interested in forming a study group ?  We
have ASHRAE and IBPSA Forums on www.linkedin.com <http://www.linkedin.com/>
that would provide a home and allow all us to gather and share study
material.  

 

ASHRAE Fundamental seems to be a good starting point, but which chapters ?
The 90.1 User Manual is the cornerstone ?  The books by Muneer and Moss are
definatelly required reading anyway, but the Stein / Reynolds book is a slab
of a book and may only help non-US people get up to speed with US
terminology. 

 

I don't have any of the CIBSA material yet - how useful is the Applications
Manual AM11: 1998, Building energy and environmental modeling ?  It seems a
little long in the teeth ?

 

The ASHRAE Standards are required for any LEED work anyway

 

For those of us outside the US, the ASHRAE BEMP and HBDP exams are an
important opportunity to stand out in a world of "dabblers", and probably
the only way to benchmark yourself against the international community.

 

   Thanks,

       Mike Barker

Very rigorous!  The guidebook is not joking about requiring two years of
experience on modeling projects as an eligibility to take the exam.

 

The Detailed Content Outline in the guidebook should give you an excellent
idea of the topics.

I am interested in sitting for the ASHRAE Building Energy Modeling
Professional certification exam and am looking for feedback from anyone that
has taken the exam.  Any advice on exam prep, etc. would be appreciated.
I've already checked out the info on ashrae.org; the sample exam questions
are limited so it is tough to get a feel for the overall exam content and
rigor.

 

Thanks in advance,

Brian
