<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>1. No ASHRAE Standard-specific questions.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>3. No questions regarding specific
software packages.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>4. I can not recommend a specific path for
preparing. Energy modeling and energy auditing experience is the best
preparation.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>5. I am not aware of any exam-specific
resources, other than what appears on the ASHRAE website. There were/are <span
class=GramE>supposed</span> to be BEM workshops but I don’t have further
information.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Ch.</st1:place></st1:country-region> 19 “Energy
Estimating and Modeling Methods” has good info but is very

experience more than just smarts or exam-preparation skills.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
