<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=566282015-29092010><FONT color=#0000ff
size=2 face=Arial>It's no different than anything else though, you just need to
estimate how many hours you think it is going to take you to do the modeling and
report, times your rate per hour you need to get your costs, OH and
profit. Then after you have your cost history on doing a few then you
should be able to shift the rate up or down a little for future work.
There is really no other way to do it, otherwise you won't make anything and
you'll be out of business.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>This might be a bit of an odd question, but how much do most energy
models charge for residential modeling? is it the typically the same rates as
any other modeling?<BR><BR>thanks,<BR clear=all><BR>-- <BR>Rob
