How is F&D Partners different from many other consultants?

1. NYSERDA usually wants to see energy efficiency recommendations that will reduce 25-30% of the emissions but in many cases buildings need to cut more than that, so, we would recommend projects to lower their emissions by over 65% at no extra cost . Other consultants would not do double the work at the same price and in their case they ask for $200/hr – $300/hr.
2. Most of their reports are not thorough (8-20 pages) while our reports are extremely detailed (usually 60-120 pages), including sensitivity analysis, and several strategies on how to comply. Also their reports are run by Certified Energy Managers (who do not fully understand the buildings) while ours are run by Licensed Mechanical Engineers with decades of experience
3. We will have meetings/Zoom with all stakeholders at no extra charge, while many other engineering firms charge as much as $200-$300/hr, because we want these buildings to comply by lowering their emissions, and become more energy efficient while avoiding up to millions of dollars in penalties
4.We are one of the leading LL97 consultants running engineering studies in over 6 million sqft.
