Greetings everyone,

I have a question regarding the cost of an energy model for a LEED project.
Every energy model I've done so far has been for

existing buildings, mainly for optimization purposes. However, I received an
RFP to model a five-story, 41,500 sq. ft. building

that's currently on the design phase and is pursuing the LEED-NC Silver
certification. I really have no idea what would be a fair

price for this model since I'm going to have to use Appendix G (ASHRAE 90.1)
to evaluate the difference between the base

and proposed buildings. I don't know how much extra effort this will take. I
know the procedure, just haven't done it before.

Can you shed any light on this issue?

Thanks in advance!
