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

[Wahid Hamed]

Thank you Dionisio and Jeff,

I went through the subgroup of IBPSA on linkedin and really it has a very
valuable recommendations.

Jeff,

Actually, I am preparing myself in different aspects of energy modeling
competencies,  real practice through on-going projects, reviewing relative
standards and guidelines, studying suggested materials and resources, and
from more skills and experts practitioners getting tips and recommendations
either in modeling practice itself, reference resources, or
exam strategies testing building energy modeling knowledge (= help).

Really, I appreciate your feedback and would thank you being brought
my attention to how much the exam very hard and needs skilled people with
good knowledge about building energy modeling.

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.


Regards,


Wahid H. Mohamed, LEED AP BD+C
Mechanical Project Engineer, Energy Modeler
