Maintaining Certification

The continuing education of Energy Managers is essential to cope with the rapidly changing field of energy management. A CEM must accumulate ten professional credits every three years and submit a completed Renewal Form to the Certification Director to remain certified. CEM renewal notices are mailed in the 3rd year of certification six months prior to the expiration date, which falls on December 31st of that year.

Professional credits for recertification can be accumulated at any time, within the three year period. For example, Energy Managers receiving a CEM certification in 2009, must file a record of ten professional credits with the Certification Director by December 31, 2012 to receive a CEM certificate for another 3-year period.
