Current status of Certified Energy Manager (CEM®) |
If you don’t yet meet the education or experience eligibility requirements for the CEA, but succesfully pass the exam, you will be awarded the Certified Energy Auditor in Training (CEAITTM) certification.
The CEA is an acceptable certification allowing professionals to verify building energy use data under Ontario’s Reporting of Energy Consumption and Water Use Regulation.
All CEA candidates must complete the Certified Energy Auditor 3.5-day Training Program. After completing your seminar registration, go to STEP TWO below.
The exam is administered from 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. on the last day of the seminar.
Within thirty days of the date of the exam, you will be notified of your score. Your CEA Application form must be submited before your score can be released. Do not call CIET about your test results before the end of the thirty-day period.
If you receive a passing score and have submitted your CEA Application form, and if your file is complete including all supporting documents, your file will be sent to the Certification Board for final review. You will be notified at that time that you will receive the Board’s approval or denial within sixty days.
A Certified Energy Auditor (CEA) may use the designation with name on organization letterhead, business cards, and all forms of address. Certification is for individuals only. The CEA designation may not be used to imply that an organization or firm is certified.
Your completed application must be received 3 weeks prior to date of the examination for which you wish to sit in order to guarantee that you are pre-registered for the examination. After this date, you may be required to complete a waiver on-site if your name is not pre-registered.
Upon completion of the official CEA title, a CEA must accumulate ten professional continuing education units (10 CEU’s) every three years at a cost of US $300 (converted into Canadian dollars) and submit a completed Renewal Form to the Certification Renewal Director to remain certified. CEA renewal notices are mailed in the 3rd year of certification six months prior to the expiration date, which falls on December 31 of that year.
