How We Work
BRING YOUR OWN THINKING
Established knowledge provides a foundation, but not every problem
has a standard answer. We encourage you to ask sharper questions,
test assumptions, and think independently about complex problems,
and to take on more technical judgment and mentorship responsibility
as your expertise grows.

KNOWLEDGE CREATION IS PART OF THE WORK
Research and practice inform each other here. Project experience
shapes what we study, and what we learn feeds back into our work.
RDHers also contribute directly to the field, through technical
guidance, codes and standards, publications, and industry education.

BUILDINGS ARE SYSTEMS
Materials, assemblies, systems, occupants, and climate don’t perform
in isolation, and neither do we. Our teams bring together different
disciplines so that decisions in one area account for their effects
elsewhere.
