How to become an energy efficiency engineer?

While hiring qualifications vary, most energy efficiency engineers need licensing as professional engineers. This means you must complete an accredited engineering program at a college or university, pass the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam, gain relevant work experience, and finally pass the Professional Engineering Exam. Many employers also want you to be LEED AP certified, which demonstrates that you have a working knowledge of green energy techniques. Other skills that can make you attractive to an employer include excellent writing and speaking skills, the ability to work in noisy environments, a thorough understanding of the industry regulations, and proficiency with energy modeling software.
