RDH is a building science consulting firm focused on high-performance buildings and, in particular, the building enclosure (facade) and its interaction with other building systems. RDH assists design teams in making decisions regarding all aspects of the building enclosure and energy performance on unique and high-performance buildings. Typically, RDH assists these teams with the design and implementation of various systems of the building enclosure; including glazing, roofing, waterproofing, and cladding.
Drawing on a wide range of technical expertise and practice experience from enclosure engineers, architects, energy specialists, and experienced construction personnel allows RDH to provide valuable input on the building enclosure. We also focus on the development of advanced and unique building facades, including the costs and constructability of these systems.

These have been calculated based on known floor counts for the building, then extrapolated through analyzing typically hundreds of buildings of the same function on this database that do have confirmed heights. The user should be aware that non-standard building features, such as significant spires or raised entrances / podiums, may affect the accuracy of these estimations.
