Certified Decarbonization Professional (CDP)

“There is no doubt that decarbonization is high on the agenda of building owners and managers. Most have basic carbon reduction targets, but lack a specific plan on how to meet these targets.  There clearly is a high market demand for credentialed professionals to provide such services. Earning the ASHRAE CDP certification will give clients confidence in your ability to provide the technical guidance needed to achieve carbon reduction goals.”
