<p class=MsoNormal>Back in 2005 there were talks about making available a
certification for those who have experience and are qualified to do energy
modeling much like the CEM, GBE, LEED AP. Does anyone know if there is a certification
for energy modelers? Maybe through ASHRAE or AEE<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Any information about it, please share. <o:p></o:p></p>
