[RE-wrenches] NABCEP consultant fee

[Kristopher Schmid]

Chris,

I have done this in the past.  WI incentives used to require NABCEP cert.
Looking back, i probably undercharged.  Given that you are putting your
reputation and certification on the line and therefor will need to be
involved in design, planning, and inspection, i think that a percentage of
the installed cost would be a good way to approach it.  I see this service
as very similar to a construction manager who typically receives 5-7% of
project cost.

Just my .02
