Energy Management Association Announces New Leadership and Board Members

The Energy Management Association (EMA) has announced its newly installed officers and board members following its recent board meeting. The organization continues its mission of advancing high-quality energy management practices that support building owners, energy professionals, and the broader building performance industry.

New EMA President Emmillee Hogan Takes Leadership Role

Newly elected EMA President Emmillee Hogan, CxA, EMP, LEED AP, of the Federal Reserve Board, emphasized the growing importance of energy managers within today’s built environment.

Hogan noted that energy management professionals are leading critical initiatives tied to building performance, energy efficiency, and sustainable operations. She also highlighted EMA’s ongoing commitment to serving as a trusted resource for members and industry stakeholders.

EMA’s Role in Energy Management and Building Performance

Founded by the AABC Commissioning Group (ACG) and established as an independent organization in 2014, EMA focuses on improving building outcomes through a specialized approach that combines energy management expertise with building commissioning methodology.

The association’s framework uses performance data and professional knowledge to enhance energy efficiency, optimize building systems, and improve operational performance.

A key component of EMA’s work is the Energy Management Professional (EMP) Certification, a credential recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy and numerous federal, state, and local organizations promoting energy management and efficiency.

Beyond certification, EMA supports professionals through:

  • Industry training programs
  • Continuing education opportunities
  • Professional networking
  • Building performance and energy management resources
