What is an hour of your (or your staff's) time worth? (EST.)

Used to value the hours each path demands from you.

More than one building?

Add each one with its own size. Our rate per sq ft goes down with more buildings, and the QEM review is included in it.

Includes the $0.30/sq ft early-adopter incentive (EST. — paid by the utility from a limited state fund, not guaranteed).

DIY hours, as % of our estimate

EST. — 52 hours for this building, itemized on the card below. Never lower than a 34,000 sq ft building; grows with size above that. Learning the rules is counted once, the filing work per building. Raise or lower it to match your situation.

QEM review, per building (paid to the QEM)

EST. Our price includes the QEM, so this only changes the other two options.

Average consultant

Consultant flat fee, per building

Your coordination hours, per building

EST. — calls, sending documents, reviewing drafts.

This consultant's fee includes QEM sign-off

Every number here is an estimate or average (EST.): the consultant fees, the QEM fees the other two options pay, the do-it-yourself hours, the timelines and the incentive (about $0.30/sq ft, paid by your utility from a limited state fund, not guaranteed). Your real numbers could differ, and you can change any default above. "Net" is the incentive minus each option's total cost; the same incentive applies to all three. Your official price comes inside your account, once your building's details are in: get started or talk to sales first.

After you file, Stay Compliant keeps it that way for $500 per building per year: the yearly energy update, the yearly plan signature and your portal, all included.
