We believe that sustainable design is not a distinct element within the design process but rather an integral part of it, spanning from programming to construction administration. At RATIO, a successful project is defined not only by its timely and budget-conscious delivery but also by its ability to exemplify design excellence through performance and innovation. RATIO integrates sustainable and wellness design principals into our projects through the Performance Wellness Guide, a document that offers insights for quick integration of sustainable design principles, following tenants of the LEED, WELL, and PHIUS rating systems. As a result, every RATIO project, regardless of whether it seeks certification, is committed to upholding sustainable design best practices.
COMMITMENTS: 1. Integrated Design Process – engage in whole systems and integrated design thinking for every project. 2. Performance and Function – utilize data to predict and inform the design process and advance our expertise. 3. Materials and Resources – evolve project material and resource selections. Specify materials and resources that are inspired by and support natural systems and enhance human health and well-being.
