August 21, 2009

COLORADO SPRINGS...August 21, 2009...Ken Merola, PE, LEED AP, has earned a Commissioning Process Management Professional (CPMP) certification from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). Merola serves as Rocky Mountain Region Director for Farnsworth Group's Facilities Science & Technology Group.

The first CPMP exam was administered during ASHRAE's 2009 Annual Conference in Louisville, KY, in June.  ASHRAE's certification program helps building owners and managers identify individuals who can design, install, test and maintain building systems and equipment to meet operational needs. The program targets individuals who manage the commissioning process, not commissioning providers.

 "An ASHRAE certification benefits building owners, employers and individuals," says ASHRAE President Gordon Holness. "Firms who employ ASHRAE-certified engineers are better able to promote their services, and individuals who are certified approach their design responsibilities with greater confidence.  ASHRAE certification helps professionals demonstrate that they have mastered a certain body of knowledge and can provide outstanding services in their area of expertise."

ASHRAE, founded in 1894, is an international organization of some 50,000 persons. ASHRAE fulfills its mission of advancing heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration to serve humanity and promote a sustainable world through research, standards writing, publishing and continuing education.

Farnsworth Group, Inc., an employee-owned company, is a full-service engineering, architecture and survey firm specializing in building commissioning, energy, and sustainability services. Farnsworth Group employs nearly 325 professionals from a nationwide network of offices in Colorado, California, Illinois, Missouri, Georgia, Wisconsin, Massachusetts and Mississippi.
