ASHRAE Announces Certified HVAC Designer Launch.
 ASHRAE
announces that applications for the new
Certified HVAC Designer (CHD) certification are now
open. World-wide computer-based testing opens June 3.
“For a long time, the certification committee had
suspected an HVAC Designer certification would serve the
needs of members, but the ‘Industry Needs’ survey data
emphasized just how much need and demand there are,”
said Mark Fly, P.E., chair of the exam subcommittee.
“Launching a new certification program is a commitment,
but we’re confident this is an investment from which
ASHRAE members and their employees will benefit.”
The CHD exam blueprint and eligibility requirements,
which have been approved by the ASHRAE Certification
Committee, can be found in the
CHD Candidate Guidebook.
