Our team of experienced energy engineers hold various types of professional and industry designations
and licenses, including the following:
Professional Engineer (“PE”)
A Professional Engineer (“PE”) is a state provided license that indicates the engineer has had his
qualifications and references thoroughly checked by the state. The engineer has a college degree in an
engineering science, has progressed logically through their career doing responsible engineering work,
and is knowledgeable in disciplines outside his or her own. In many cases all final plans, including
drawings, specifications, and reports, are required to bear the seal and signature of a licensed PE.
Certified Energy Managers (“CEM”)
A Certified Energy Manager ("CEM") is a professional certification issued by the Association of Energy
Engineers. Professionals become eligible for this certification after demonstrating expertise in several
areas including engineering standards, air quality, energy audits, lighting, procurement and even
financing.
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Accredited Professional (“LEED AP”)
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Accredited Professional (“LEED AP”) is a professional
credential issued by the US Green Building Council (USGBC). Green building professionals receive the
LEED AP designation only after passing a detailed examination focusing on green technologies, best
practices, and the LEED rating system.
