BCxP from ASHRAE?

[SmilinEd]

Anyone pursue a Building Commissioning Professional Certification (BCxP)? How was the application process compared to the PE, as it does not seem as intensive? How was the exam itself?

Also, did you find it worthwhile in terms of career progression or marketability? I currently work for an ECP firm and we do commissioning, but I don't know if a certification would be worthwhile.

I have AEE’s CBCP cert which is similar tor ASHRAE’s.  There are a handful of nationally recognized commissioning certifications and the BCxP is one of them. Not sure how they all rank. 

Its helpful if you are a CxA or CxC and want to work on federal or state projects because sometimes (like USACE) those folks need to be certified to work on the project. 

Since I am just a Resident Engineer it hasn’t helped me career wise. Maybe it gives me more credibility when dealing with the CxA and CxC on my projects.
