Commissioning Process Management Professional Certification

ASHRAE has developed the Commissioning Process Management Professional (CPMP) program in close collaboration with APPA, BCA, IES, NEBB, SMACNA, TABB, and the University of Wisconsin - Madison. To continue to improve building performance, experts agree that the commissioning process should be implemented in new and existing buildings – and the correct management of that process is critical. The purpose of this certification is to help building owners, developers, standards writing agencies, and others assess the capability of individuals to manage the whole building commissioning process. The Commissioning Process Manager oversees and coordinates the commissioning process and communicates on behalf of the building owner with the commissioning provider and the commissioning team. For some projects, the commissioning provider may perform the function of the commissioning process manager, but for other projects, another individual performs these functions.

The CPMP examination is $295 for ASHRAE members and $415 for non-members.
