Energy modeling is an essential part of the sustainable design process to create an optimized whole-building design solution.  Morrison Hershfield is pleased to announce that Christian Cianfrone, P.Eng., LEED A.P., has earned the Building Energy Modeling Professional (BEMP) certification from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).

This ASHRAE certification program attests to an individual’s ability to evaluate, choose, use, calibrate and interpret the results of energy modeling software when applied to building and systems energy performance and economics. It also confirms an individual’s competence to model new and existing buildings and systems with their full range of physics. 

Morrison Hershfield’s industry recognized experts understand how to create accurate models to assist with the building design process in order to make informed decisions on design strategies that promote efficient energy use.  We support life cycle cost analysis, compliance with project energy performance goals, LEED® energy efficiency prerequisite/credits and can advise on the applicability of energy efficiency incentive programs.  We are one of less than fifty companies across North America to have staff certified as a Building Energy Modeling Professional.

ASHRAE 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.
