Resilience and Adaptation

Resilience and adaptation services help design teams and building owners evaluate and address climate-related risks, from overheating and extreme weather to wildfire exposure and long-term climate shifts. RDH translates climate projection data and hazard exposure into project-specific design criteria, enclosure detailing recommendations, and adaptation strategies grounded in both future climate data and practical risk mitigation.

• Climate risk and resiliency consulting integrates hazard exposure, enclosure performance, and system reliability to evaluate building vulnerability under projected climate conditions.
• Wildfire-resistant enclosure consulting recommends assemblies and detailing to address ignition risk and fire spread, particularly relevant in fire-prone regions of California, British Columbia, and the Pacific Northwest.
• Climate hazard guidance translates climate projection data into project-specific design criteria.
• Thermal comfort and overheating analysis models indoor conditions to assess occupant comfort and overheating risk under current and future climate scenarios.
