The product refers to an altitude or an elevation (orthometric height). State the vertical datum name and year in that document. Example: "Vertical coordinate information is referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88)."
Within the boundaries of the District, the NAVD 88 elevation number is a shift of approximately 0.7 to 1.1 feet lower that the elevation in the NGVD 29 standard. This variation is due to geographical differences. For example, a water level for Lake Panasoffkee of 39.24 feet in NGVD 29 will be 38.36 in the NAVD 88 standard.
Jul 12, 2018 · The Sea Level Datum of 1929 was named the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 on May 10, 1973. ( Geodetic Glossary, pp. 57) The Sea Level Datum of 1929 is a vertical control datum in the United States by the general adjustment of 1929. Mean sea level was held fixed at the sites of 26 tide gauges, 21 in the United States and 5 in Canada.
VERTCON 3.0 was a project whose intent was to create new “build software”, and use that software to build and release transformation grids capable of performing orthometric height transformations for a range of datums and regions in the National Spatial Reference System. Those new grids (and supporting information) are called VERTCON 3.0 ...

NAD 83 and NAVD 88, although still the official horizontal and vertical datums of the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS), have been identified as having shortcomings that are best addressed through defining new horizontal and vertical datums. Specifically: NAD 83 is non-geocentric by about 2.2 meters. NAVD 88 is both biased (by about one ...
A building finished floor elevation is shown on an existing elevation certificate as 10.0’ NGVD. The equivalent NAVD 88 elevation can be obtained using the FEMA-approved average conversion factor in the following formula: NAVD 88 = NGVD 29 + conversion factor NAVD 88 = 10.0’ NGVD + (-1.51) NAVD 88 = 8.49.
