IMEG has been ranked #25 on ENR magazine\u2019s list of the 2023 Top 100 Green Design Firms, up three spots from 2022.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Top 100 companies are ranked according to revenue for design services generated in 2022 from projects that have been registered with or certified by a third-party organization that sets standards for measuring a building\u2019s or facility’s environmental impact, energy efficiency, or carbon footprint. For IMEG, that amounted to 25 percent of the firm\u2019s revenue last year\u2014up from 17 percent the year before.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

IMEG Director of Sustainability Adam McMillen said the firm\u2019s green design work is greater than what is reflected in the rankings, however. \u201cThe<\/span> majority of IMEG\u2019s building design projects incorporate sustainable design<\/span>\u2014making our green design footprint much larger than the percentage of projects that are third-party certified,\u201d he said.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sustainable design is a long-standing tenet for IMEG, which has more than 150 staff accredited in green certification systems and a large portfolio of LEED, WELL, and net zero projects. The firm also is pursuing measures to reduce the operational and embodied carbon of its projects and has committed to industry-wide decarbonization initiatives including <\/span>SE 2050<\/span><\/a>, the <\/span>AIA 2030 Commitment<\/span><\/a>, and the <\/span>National Academy of Medicine Action Collaborative on Decarbonizing the U.S. Health Sector<\/span><\/a>. The firm also is a founding member of the Carbon Leadership Forum\u2019s <\/span>MEP 2040 Challenge<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

IMEG\u2019s current sustainability projects include a community-scale geothermal system for the City of Ann Arbor, MI, one of 11 similar projects selected and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy\u2019s (DOE) Geothermal Technologies Office. \u201cThis is a groundbreaking, collaborative project,\u201d said McMillen, who is leading the analysis and design of the system. \u201cIt will serve as a model of what can be done to effect substantive energy and environmental solutions to improve all kinds of communities.\u201d <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
