Historic and Heritage Consulting

Historic and heritage enclosure consulting helps clients address performance and durability challenges in culturally significant buildings without compromising their visual identity or material character. RDH applies building science expertise to legacy systems, analyzing traditional assemblies, evaluating material compatibility, and developing conservation strategies that align with local heritage policies. This work bridges modern performance expectations with the constraints of legacy construction methods and materials.

• Traditional assembly review analyzes legacy construction techniques to understand current performance implications and inform preservation decisions.
• Compatibility and performance consulting provides guidance on repair materials and upgrade options suited to original construction while meeting heritage requirements.
• Conservation strategy support develops enclosure improvement recommendations within the framework of local heritage policies and conservation principles.
