Yadav Solutions is an Energy Efficiency Consulting Firm with solid background experience, education and credentialing in the energy efficiency industry. Our primary services are listed below.
An on-site inspection and analysis of energy consumption and identifying base building systems (lighting levels, mechanical schedule, building envelope, building documentation). Our staff conducts an in depth analysis of the 24 months of energy consumption and calculates energy conservation measures based off of that data and from what was observed at the property.
The tuning or tweaking of your existing equipment to ensure it is running at the highest possible efficiency that it can. The law requires us to inspect for and have corrected all deficiencies related to energy loss, safety, and functionality of equipment. We then document that the corrections took place and include them in our final reports with calculations that show estimate savings and ROI.
Complete filing preparation including energy efficiency reports, supporting documentation, and DOB submission assistance. Our team ensures all documentation meets regulatory requirements and provides clear, actionable recommendations for building owners and facility managers.
LL87 requires that all major equipment related to HVAC undergo a functional performance test in the appropriate season (Boilers should be tested in winter during winter loading conditions and chillers and cooling equipment tested in summer). Failure to do this may lead to DOB rejecting the report. Functional testing is part of retro-commissioning during the appropriate season and is standard protocol during a retro-commissioning study. It is also part of the LL87 requirement. This work is always included in our proposal. This process includes both visual and hands-on inspections, documenting deficiencies, and notating an FPT form which is included in our final reports. Deficiencies may also be identified by analyzing the combustion analysis or making adjustments to pressure controls.
LL84 (also known as LL33/LL133) Energy Benchmarking is a requirement to submit the previous calendar year of whole building energy data to the city before May 1st of every year. ConEdison and National Grid now provide whole-building aggregated data which includes both tenant and common area energy consumption which will allow for a greater and more in-depth analysis. Energy Benchmarking is a fairly straightforward process, yet the penalties can add up quickly for those that don’t meet the deadline or if it is submitted incorrectly with missing information or metrics.
Our team manages and oversees hundreds of benchmarking submissions every year with a wide range of clients from small companies that oversee a few buildings, to large management firms with portfolios of 50+ buildings that require benchmarking services.
Rigorous data validation processes ensuring accuracy and completeness of utility consumption and building characteristic data. Our quality control procedures include cross-referencing utility bills, validating building information, and ensuring compliance with reporting requirements.
Many other cities are now requiring benchmarking as well. As the laws increase, we have started to branch out our client base to locations like Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Philadelphia.
Below is our standard scope of work when performing Local Law 84 Benchmarking Compliance for NYC Properties.
a. Obtain aggregated energy data (buildings entire electric and gas consumption measured month to month) from a private utility company.
b. Obtain water data for properties that have had an automatic meter reader installed for at least the previous 12 months (if required).
a. Identify property by entering BBL and BIN number into Portfolio Manager.
b. Enter Property Characteristics and basic building information.
c. Use the Portfolio Manager data quality checker to scan for errors and ensure that all required metrics have populated before submission.
d. Release Data to the City to Comply with the Benchmarking Law.
In order to complete, this process the benchmarking consultant would need to receive 1 Utility Bill from each supply company (1 ConEdison Bill, 1 National Grid, 1 PSEG, etc).
If applicable, we would also need to receive and include oil consumption data for the previous calendar year (or the name of the company you receive oil from and we can contact them directly).
Precise greenhouse gas emissions calculations using approved methodologies, including scope 1 and 2 emissions tracking. Our calculations account for all energy sources, apply appropriate emission factors, and provide detailed documentation for compliance verification and strategic planning.
Tailored approaches to meet emissions limits including efficiency improvements, renewable energy, and carbon offset strategies. We develop comprehensive decarbonization plans that balance cost-effectiveness with regulatory compliance, providing clear pathways to achieve required emissions reductions.
Proactive planning to avoid significant financial penalties through strategic upgrades and alternative compliance pathways. Our team identifies cost-effective solutions to meet emissions limits while minimizing capital investment and operational disruption.
Long-term decarbonization roadmaps preparing for increasingly stringent emissions limits through 2050. We provide strategic guidance on timing investments, technology selection, and financing options to achieve deep emissions reductions over time.
Local Law 88 requires commercial buildings to upgrade lighting systems to meet current NYC Energy Conservation Code standards. Our team conducts a thorough assessment of your existing lighting, develops a tailored upgrade plan, and ensures all installations meet code requirements for maximum efficiency and compliance.
The law also mandates the installation of electrical sub-meters for each large non-residential tenant space. We provide end-to-end sub-metering solutions, from system design and equipment selection to installation and compliance documentation, helping you track and manage tenant energy usage effectively.
We handle all required filings and provide comprehensive documentation to demonstrate compliance with Local Law 88. Our experts guide you through every step, minimizing disruption and ensuring timely completion to avoid penalties.
Feel free to reach us any time via email or phone. We are essentially a 24/7 operation that places our clients' needs and requests as our top priority which is what has helped catapult our business into such widespread success.
