Just as SRTM is no longer state-of-the-art for Digital Elevation Models over the United States, the use of year 2000 SRTM-based building heights seems outdated in the US given the near national coverage of LiDAR in USGS 3DEP. For example, Overture Maps Foundation is generating LiDAR-derived building heights in their GeoParquet buildings files. Link to 2023 white paper
