HBDP Certification

Designers recognized by their peers hold ASHRAE’s High-Performance Building Design Professional (HBDP) certification.

The ASHRAE HBDP certification program is a peer-reviewed process that measures an individual’s understanding of a select body of knowledge. Candidates who earn the HBDP certification will have demonstrated a well-rounded understanding and knowledge of how HVAC&R design is integrated into high performing buildings to achieve the overall goal of producing a sustainable HVAC&R design.  

Earning an ASHRAE certification assures employers and clients that the certificant has mastered the body of knowledge associated with the respective field. An ASHRAE certification also serves as a springboard for continued professional development.

ASHRAE has developed the HBDP program in close collaboration with the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) and the Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA) and with input from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and the Green Building Initiative (GBI).
