About this exam
The ASHRAE Building Energy Assessment Professional (BEAP) Certification Exam assesses whether a professional can evaluate building energy performance and support sound assessment decisions. It is relevant to engineers and other practitioners involved in energy audits, building operations, commissioning, or efficiency projects. Candidates should be ready to apply engineering judgment—not just recall terminology—to audit scope and project planning, benchmarking and performance indicators, utility data and energy baselines, and building-envelope conditions such as insulation, windows, and infiltration.
For the 2027–2028 study cycle, use the current ASHRAE BEAP candidate handbook and exam information as the authority for eligibility, exam format, and tested content; requirements and administrative details should be confirmed with ASHRAE. A focused study plan connects audit methods with practical analysis: check assumptions in utility bills, interpret performance indicators, and relate envelope findings to energy use. Review explanations for missed questions and use online multiple-choice practice as a way to identify weak areas, rather than as a substitute for the official materials.
How to prepare for the ASHRAE BEAP exam
- Review the current ASHRAE BEAP handbook and map its stated knowledge areas to your study plan; confirm eligibility, exam procedures, and any current content updates there.
- Work through audit scope, levels, and project planning, then practice analyzing benchmarking data, utility bills, energy baselines, and performance indicators using realistic building scenarios.
- Study envelope assessment across walls, roofs, and windows, including infiltration; use timed question sets to practice applying concepts, then revisit every incorrect answer and its underlying reasoning.
