ASHRAE Awards: Alan M. Richardson (of PVAC) Certification for Commissioning Process Management Professional

ATLANTA – (Alan M. Richardson (of PVAC)) has earned a Commissioning Process Management Professional certification from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers.

            ASHRAE’s certification program helps building owners and managers identify individuals who can design, install, test and maintain building systems and equipment to meet operational needs. The program targets individuals who manage the commissioning process, not commissioning providers.

             “An ASHRAE certification benefits building owners, employers and individuals,” says ASHRAE President Gordon Holness. “Firms who employ ASHRAE-certified engineers are better able to promote their services, and individuals who are certified approach their design responsibilities with greater confidence.  ASHRAE certification helps professionals demonstrate that they have mastered a certain body of knowledge and can provide outstanding services in their area of expertise.”

The computer-based exam is offered at testing facilities across the United States and in 19 other nations. Persons interested in earning the certification must meet certain eligibility requirements and submit a completed application. A list of recommended resources from ASHRAE and other sources is available. For more information, visit www.ashrae.org/certification.

ASHRAE, founded in 1894, is an international organization of some 50,000 persons. ASHRAE fulfills its mission of advancing heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration to serve humanity and promote a sustainable world through research, standards writing, publishing and continuing education.
