Credential users will also have access to several reports. There is a one-time set-up fee to verify credentials.

  • $0 ASHRAE Certified BEAP or BEMP
  • $15 ASHRAE member CEA, CEM, EMP or Professional / Chartered Engineer
  • $25 Non-ASHRAE member CEA, CEM, EMP or Professional / Chartered Engineer
