The High-Performance Building Design Professional HBDP Exam Refresher course provides a comprehensive overview of sustainability concepts, HVAC processes, energy analysis, indoor and site environments, controls and monitoring, benchmarking, water conservation, commissioning, energy and material use and management, as well as sample questions for the HBDP examination.

The HBDP certification, an ANSI-accredited personnel certification programme under ISO/IEC 17024 (#1139), validates competency to design and integrate sustainable HVAC&R systems into high-performing buildings.

The HBDP certification validates competency to design and integrate sustainable HVAC&R systems into high-performing buildings. The HBDP validates competency in the following key domains: energy analysis, indoor and site environments, controls and monitoring, benchmarking with performance metrics, water conservation, commissioning in sustainable construction, energy and material use, and management.

The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) is an international membership society committed to the advancement of the arts and sciences of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration to serve humanity and promote a sustainable world.

The High-Performance Building Design Professional (HBDP) certification programme supports this mission by validating job competency as understood in internationally recognised technical information, reflecting the best practices that lead our industry.

The High-Performance Building Design Professional (HBDP) Refresher course aims to provide participants with fundamental knowledge of sustainability, HVAC operations, energy analysis, indoor and site environments, controls, and monitoring. It also goes over benchmarking with performance measures, water conservation, sustainable building commissioning, resources, and 100 ASHRAE HBDP test sample questions.

Krishnaji Pawar, an accomplished sustainability specialist with expertise in smart city development, sustainable design strategy development, environmental impact assessment, green building certification (LEED, GSAS, etc.), energy usage modelling, greenhouse gas accounting, and emissions management, developed the High-Performance Building Design Professional (HBDP) Refresher training.
