[BLDG-SIM] Certified Energy Engineer or Professional

[Chris Halpin]

I agree with Tom. I am a PE, a Certified Energy Procurement Professional
through the AEE, and a LEED accredited professional by the US Green
Building Council. I have never pursued the CEM because I felt its value
was not very high. As Tom said, there are CEMs out there with very
little knowledge of real world energy efficiency practices.  In my
opinion the PE registration has much greater value, as it requires
rigorous testing and minimum experience criteria to achieve
registration. Although there PEs out there who are not particularly
talented engineers, the credibility of a PE is greater than that of a
CEM in the energy business.
 
I hope this is helpful. If you are new to the business, I encourage you
to pursue the CEM anyway, as it can not hurt to have it.

Dear All,
 
   Do you know which organizations and/or associations can give
certification for energy engineers or professionals? for instance:
certified energy engineer or energy accredited professional particularly
for engineers who work in energy management & conservation fields.
 
Awaiting your reply
