Abstract

The Association of Energy Engineers recently created a new certi-
fication program for distributed generation and combined heat and
power professionals. The purpose of this article is to discuss this new
program, describe a new distributed generation course that will soon be
offered, and explain the topics that will be covered by the certification
examination. The article then outlines the certification procedure for
professionals presently working in the area.
