Nolan,
Thanks for the feedback. Would you care to give more info about the potential opportunities? From the little you mentioned, it appears that they deal with new construction and will not be occurring until next year and initially only in some areas. That is all good news, however, I am looking for a revenue stream to develop in the short term that serves a different market cycle. I am working on the ICC certs and will evaluate every real business opportunity that presents itself.

Regarding the CMC cert. I agree that it is "energy light" and could only be ethically marketed and priced as such. Do you perceive a potentially profitable and value added product in full blown energy auditing, ie. with blower doors and IR cameras? I have wondered if the CMC product is a low investment step to test the market.

Believe me, I am not committed to this course of action; I am attempting to evaluate it.

Thanks again,

Darrel Hood
