I am excited to have these experienced and highly regarded experts provide their knowledge and experience to help us take this once-in-a-century opportunity to strategically examine how we can preserve this city’s unique and iconic skyline while exploring how to ensure the Height Act continues to meet federal and District interests.

April 30th, 2013 Press Release | Mayor Vincent C. Gray Announces District’s Consultant Teams for Study of City’s Building HeightsDC Mayor Vincent C. Gray

The building’s 199 units found buyers in 18 months and are now about 10 percent closed…The brisk sell-out was helped by careful pricing, which Digital Design’s photos aided…They were a marvelous tool to guide the developer.

The City of Falls Church has benefited greatly from the thermal imaging of our City Hall that was done by Curt Westergard and his company, Digital Design and Imaging Services, Inc. This company’s ability to take thermal images from multiple perspectives, including aerial perspectives, allowed us to see clearly where we have significant gaps in insulation and energy loss. We are using that information to improve our insulation and building efficiency, which will reduce our carbon footprint and lower our annual heating and cooling bills.
