Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Certified Energy Manager Eric Woodruff, PhD
Q: As a CEM, what would it take for a regular solar person to get one of those?
A mix of education and experience is required; typically a four-year technical degree plus about three years in the field, or alternatively many CEMs come through trades with about 10 years of experience. There are pathways including an exam and a three-year accumulation period, and options for training programs such as Premier Programs that can be done virtually or in person.
