  1. Integrated and Intelligent BuildingCertification for Designers and Installers:The Industry’s Path Forward for Credibility

  2. Overview • Designers and installers must have credentials similar to other design professionals and contractors on the job. • Professional credentialing provides the industry with credibility and legitimacy. • Is an evolutionary step in the development of a recognized and mature industry. • Suggested path for the industry to establish credential of designers and contractors of integrated building systems.

  3. REQUIREMENTS OF THE CREDENTIALS • Credentials should be provided or issued by an independent body. • Credentials cannot appear bias • Creation of a credential by an independent organization can be useful for those manufacturers that want to create their own credential, providing a baseline of required knowledge, experience and skills. • The organization issuing the credential must be sensitive to what the credentialed person is called. • Cannot be called an “architect” or an “engineer” • “Certified” or “Registered” by an independent body. • Certification will require significant administration • eligibility, testing and recertification requirements. • Curriculum will need to be “memorialized” in a manual and taught or reviewed in classes for those seeking certification or registration. • Credentials should provide for different types

  4. EXAMPLES OF EXISTING CREDENTIALING • The Building Industry Consulting Services International (BICSI) • The American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) • ASIS International • LonMark • Infocomm International

  5. TYPE OF CERTIFICATIONS • Certification means that an independent body has audited, tested or verified that a person or organization has met the requirements of a pre-determined standard for certification. • The organization then registers the person or organization in their records. • There are a number of ways to certify people and organizations. Attendance at an educational session • Attend an educational session, be tested on the material in the session, and after passing the test, be certified on the material in the session.

  6. SUGGESTED PLAN OF ACTION • TEST THE CONCEPT • Collaborative educational and training sessions • Organizations to cross-market their training and educational courses and materials to members of the other organizations. • Test the marketplace for the need of collaborative training and eventual credentialing • Obtain AIA and professional engineering continuing education credits for this collaborative training forum. • Hold a planning session concurrent with the actual training / conference to address the details of leadership, funding and organization. • Get CIB / EISA to endorse this effort as essential for the industry to achieve Net Zero Energy / Carbon Neutral Buildings by 2030. • ORGANIZE AND FUND THE EFFORT • Creation of an alliance for the training organizations. • Seek funding and resources for the effort. • Have industry provide the manpower, resources and knowledge base for the preparation of the certification curriculum and manual. • DEVELOP THE CERTIFICATION, REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE BASE AND CURRICULUM. • Develop the curriculum and the knowledge base for the different credential designations • Addressing issues such as credential administration, initial testing, continuing education, manuals, renewals, etc. • Author a section in the Whole Building Design Guide www.wbdg.org
