Rolf H. Keidel is a graduate engineer and architect. His customers benefit from his 25 years of experience in the areas of research and development, construction planning, and construction. In 1996 he completed the first software version for planning and calculation of Siphonic Roof Drainage on the basis of German standards. Due to the demand for DrainStar, the name of the software, it was adapted to British, American, and Chinese standards. Today, DrainStar is being implemented worldwide. Rolf Keidel provides his software to students free of charge and gives lectures at universities to promote knowledge and implementation of this economic and ecological roof drainage system.
