<p>Wahid,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hence, I don't think it is appropriate for you to ask for "help" from others on the Bldg-sim list server.
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you need help studying for the exam, I suggest you contact IBPSA USA and/or others who offer courses and workshops that help one prepare for the test.
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sorry to be such a jerk.</p>
