AIRMaster+ Qualification

Qualified AIRMaster+ Specialists have successfully completed classroom and practical training, passed a rigorous exam, and demonstrated their ability to use the AIRMaster+ software tool.

Specialists apply this tool to help their plant or industrial customers identify ways to improve compressed air system efficiency. The U.S. DOE recognizes these industry professionals as Qualified Specialists, but does not specifically endorse any individual or company.

AIRMaster+ Qualification

DOE and the Compressed Air Challenge® recognize Qualified AIRMaster+ Specialists for their ability to use the AIRMaster+ software effectively with industrial end users. Used properly, AIRMaster+ is a powerful tool for modeling "what if" scenarios for possible improvements to compressed air systems. A Qualified Specialist can apply AIRMaster+ to assist you in identifying system improvement opportunities.

Become a Qualified AIRMaster+ Specialist

Earn recognition as a qualified specialist in the use of AIRMaster+ software by attending a qualification workshop. DOE and the Compressed Air Challenge® (CAC) offer a 3½-day training program for compressed air system specialists that includes classroom instruction, a practical exam testing hands-on measurement, and a written exam.

To become a Qualified AIRMaster+ Specialist, participants must have previously completed the CAC's Advanced Management of Compressed Air Systems course as a prerequisite to the AIRMaster+ training. During the course, participants will learn:

  • How to use the AIRMaster+ software
  • How to accurately acquire input data for AIRMaster+
  • How to use AIRMaster+ to evaluate compressed air systems and develop a measurement plan
  • How to make measurements for hourly trends of typical daily data vs. making dynamic measurements to characterize system events, pressure and flow profiles
  • How to create AIRMaster+ compressor-operating scenarios, accounting for the affect of system dynamics, pressure profiles, characteristics of flow vs. pressure, and compressor control operation.
  • How to use the LogTool Software
