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.
