RE: ASHRAE CHE(Certified HVAC Engineer)
I didn't know this certification exists, but it looks like this is the guide. Did you already buy it and have a specific question?
You decide if it is useful to you. You also have to re-certify (cha-ching!$) every 3 years. I'd rather focus on tangible licenses unless you are already decked out on those. I'm curious how difficult the test is compared to PE exam or similar. It doesn't seem to have strict requirements who can take the test.

A long list of certs looks great and might get you an interview, but in the end your boss comes with a new project and asks who can legally design and stamp it, and that is where licenses rule.
I'd ask potential clients and investigate first if it really has meaning to THEM. I work for an owner, and I bet 100% of people who are on the selection committee don't know what it is. And if they do, they would wonder if it is legally required or not. Hell, I had to google it when I saw your post. We often see people who DON'T have an actual license come up with those lesser certificates to make up for a lack of license (since a license is harder to obtain).
IMHO, those are money grabbing schemes. We have the PE license. But in theory I also could get a CEM (certified energy manager?), this ASHRAE thing and so on. I also bet that someone who passes PE, could pass any of the other tests. So you don't literally learn new things while studying. What they all have in common is that anyone who has the money can sit for the test.

IMHO, if you have all the actually hard to obtain degrees and licenses, those certifications are obsolete and redundant. If you or your employer have time and cash to burn, and think there is that one client who may be impressed, it MAY be worth it.
