Hello Matt,
Thank you for your question. Currently the CSM certification is from Everblue, and nationally recognized training institution. This means after your training you are taking an exam developed by us and when you pass, you are certified under our institution.
Thank you,

Online dates
I see location dates for 5 days but three days for online. Are these intor test, and test? Doesn't show in description.
Online dates
Hello Will and thank you for your question.
The online training cannot include field training and exams (which must be proctored). This is why the online training is shorter. It is important to consider that when weighing out options as you will still at some point be required to attend live feild training and proctored examination to recieve your certification.
Thank you,
Bana
Smart buildings
This is an exciting field when in the context of designs for new buildings where clever methods are employed to minimise the buildings "energy footprint", and to balance its impact on the surrounding area. One of the really interesting things being done is more and more roof gardens both for foliage but also for produce. One enterprising man in Chicago has set up Bee Hives on several buildings and it is a surprise to some that he is doing very well. It is exciting that we are breathing life into some of these monolithic structures.
CEM Training Standard
What standard is your CEM training based on (e.g. ANSI Level 1 or Level 2)?
CEM Training Standard
Hello Julia and thank you for your question.
We use two references for our Commercial Energy Management training. The first is ASHRAE Procedures for Commercial Building Energy Audits (Levels I, II, and III) and the second is ASTM E2797 – 11, Standard Practice for Building Energy Performance Assessment for a Building Involved in a Real Estate Transaction.
Thank you,
Bana
BPI Certification
Can a company use this as one of its two courses to get BPI certification?
BPI Certification
Hello and thank you for your question.
This course does not apply to BPI certification. We suggest that you register for the BPI Building Analyst and BPI Envelope Shell combo so you have receive the proper BPI training and can do so in five days.
Thank you,

BEAP certification vs. Everblue
Quick question, what is the difference between Everu blue training for Energy Managers and auditors and ASHRAE's certification of BEAP? Will someone going through Everblue's training be prepared to take the Building Energy Assessment Professional Certification (BEAP)?
Professional Energy Manager Certification
Hi Brea, Our energy manager course is aligned with ASHRAE's the BEAP exam's detailed content outline, but our class is not a BEAP preparation course. Instead, students have an opportunity to earn the Professional Energy Manager credential at the completion of the course. Thanks, Chris
