ASHRAE has developed the Operations & Performance Management Professional (OPMP) program in close collaboration with APPA and GSA. Candidates who earn the OPMP certification will have demonstrated a well-rounded understanding and knowledge of the management of facility operations and maintenance and their impact on HVAC&R systems' performance.

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