[Bldg-sim] Key Tips for Passing ASHRAE Certified Building Energy Modeling Professional (BEMP) Exam

[David Eldridge]

Wahid, the experience that you mention based on the qualifications will be more valuable than courses or reading material in terms of exam prep. (Those things obviously still good for continuing education.)

LEED project experience in particular will cover many modeling topics. If anything, you might want to focus your additional studying efforts on existing building applications to fill the gap there if that hasn’t been a major area of your practice.

On the other hand, the BEMP exam's eligibility requirements have been met as I have 10+ years extensive mechanical design & build experience on conventional and sustainable buildings, in addition to more than 2 years experience in building energy modeling for LEED projects.

Wahid,

The ASHRAE BEMP exam is a very hard exam that tests a person(s) knowledge about building energy modeling -- all aspects. To this extent it was created by modelers to REALLY test one's modeling skills. So, it should really be a test of what you know. This is because it is supposed to "certify" that someone actually knows something.
