Association of Energy Engineers (AEE) instructors Eric Woodroof and Tim Janos will teach the course. Janos is Chairman of the Certified Energy Manager board. Woodroof, who has led the CEM program on five continents, states, “The new energy/carbon requirements in the US will absolutely make the CEM even more desired by employers and energy consumers.”
“The CEM certification has become the de facto standard in the energy efficiency industry,” said Pat Lydon, former President of Columbia River Chapter. Since its inception in 1981, the Certified Energy Manager credential has become widely accepted and used as a measure of professional accomplishment within the energy management field. It has gained industry-wide use as the standard for qualifying energy professionals both in the United States and abroad.
