Justification

The list of qualified auditors is expected to have additions over time as more organizations see the value in performing building energy audits. The changes include minor additions and a few breaking changes. The breaking changes are to further qualify the Building Operator Certification and adding the organization that oversees the qualification.

Implementation

This proposal is to:

  1. Add AEE to the CEA and CEM qualification. The new elements are shown below. This is a breaking change:

    previous

    <xs:enumeration value="Certified Energy Auditor (CEA)"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Certified Energy Manager (CEM)"/>

    new

    <xs:enumeration value="Association of Energy Engineers Certified Energy Manager (CEM)"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Association of Energy Engineers Certified Energy Auditor (CEA)"/>

  2. Add BOC levels to enumerations. This is a breaking change:

    previous

    <xs:enumeration value="Building Operator Certification (BOC)"/>

    new

    <xs:enumeration value="Building Operator Certification (BOC): Level 1"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Building Operator Certification (BOC): Level 2"/>

  3. Add BPI acronym to multifamily building analyst to keep consistency. This is a breaking change:

    previous

    <xs:enumeration value="Building Performance Institute (BPI) Certification"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Building Performance Institute: Building Analyst (BA)"/>   
<xs:enumeration value="Building Performance Institute: Advanced Home Energy Professional (HEP)"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Building Performance Institute: Advanced Home Energy Professional - Energy Auditor (HEP-EA)"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Building Performance Institute: Advanced Home Energy Professional - Quality Control Inspector (HEP-QCI)"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Building Performance Institute: Advanced Home Energy Professional - Retrofit Installer (HEP-RI)"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Building Performance Institute: Advanced Home Energy Professional - Crew Leader (HEP-CL)"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Building Performance Institute: Multifamily Building Analyst"/>

    updated

    <xs:enumeration value="Building Performance Institute (BPI): Building Analyst (BA)"/>   
<xs:enumeration value="Building Performance Institute (BPI): Advanced Home Energy Professional (HEP)"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Building Performance Institute (BPI): Advanced Home Energy Professional - Energy Auditor (HEP-EA)"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Building Performance Institute (BPI): Advanced Home Energy Professional - Quality Control Inspector (HEP-QCI)"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Building Performance Institute (BPI): Advanced Home Energy Professional - Retrofit Installer (HEP-RI)"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Building Performance Institute (BPI): Advanced Home Energy Professional - Crew Leader (HEP-CL)"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Building Performance Institute (BPI): Multifamily Building Analyst"/>

  4. Add the following enumerations to the AuditorQualificationType:restriction element:

    <xs:enumeration value="ASHRAE Building Energy Assessment Professional (BEAP)"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Department of Buildings (DOB) Approved Agent"/>
