Sustainable Practice History & Projects

RATIO’s pledge to the AIA 2030 Commitment advances and strengthens the firm’s dedication to sustainable design. Since designing some of Indiana’s first LEED buildings, RATIO has completed nearly 4.5 million square feet of LEED-certified buildings, including one Platinum and 14 Gold-certified structures.

In 2015 RATIO formed an internal group of individuals with interest and expertise in sustainability - the Sustainability Research Group (SRG). This group was developed to formalize and push our sustainability efforts firm-wide. In 2017 RATIO formalized a Director of Sustainability role, who helps teams to identify goals, develop sustainable strategies and improve performance across all projects. This individual helps guide and build the firm’s knowledge and integration of best practices in sustainable design across all disciplines, and also leads the firm’s efforts on the AIA 2030 Commitment.
