Certified by CABEC, Certified Energy Analysts members who demonstrate their mastery of the Residential and/or Nonresidential California Energy Standards. Since energy consultants are not regulated by the state, CABEC designed the CEA to be a statement of an energy consultant’s working knowledge and understanding of the California Energy Efficiency Standards. When an energy consultant is a Certified Energy Analyst, it is a statement to a building department, builder, architect, or homeowner of the professional skills and knowledge of that energy consultant.
