RMS provides rainwater system design and installation for: - harvesting rainwater for reuse in residential and commercial buildings, as well as industrial and agricultural projects;- capturing and recycling water for reuse in car washers, laundries and hospitals; - capturing and recycling water from cooling towers; - reducing storm drain runoff. RMS focuses on providing design and application of water management and water conservation systems within six primary application areas: corporate, green building construction, stormwater management and urban watershed management, commercial and residential developments, agriculture, and homeowners. RMS has installed hundreds of rainwater systems, designed and built roof washer systems for commercial sites in throughout the United States like Portland, Oregon, and has designed and shipped roof washer systems outside the country to a customer in the Bahamas. RMS’s mechanical engineering group provides siphonic drain system design services for application in the construction of commercial, industrial, and fine arts facilities as well as big box buildings like Target and Ikea.RMS promotes sustainability by only using the highest quality rainwater harvesting materials that require no maintenance and will last the lifetime of the building. RMS has adopted this philosophy from the German standards of rainwater harvesting. Germany has been utilizing rainwater harvesting for centuries and is the leader in rainwater harvesting techniques. As a result, David works closely with German companies and experts to promote cost effective and sustainable products for rainwater harvesting practices and reuse applications.

As President of the Cabell Brand Center for International Poverty, David assisted in developing the Virginia Rainwater Harvesting Manual, which has assisted localities throughout the US to develop rainwater harvesting codes. The Manual is now utilized by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers as a study guide for certification in High-Performance Building Design.
