He has worked exclusively on low and zero-energy projects since 2009 and feels strongly about the ever-increasing need for energy efficiency in buildings and has worked toward furthering the passive house movement, as he believes in its ability to transform the conversation about the built environment in the United States. Ryan holds a Master of Architecture and a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His design education and research focused on energy efficiency and building science, which led to a thesis entitled ”A Critical Analysis of the Passive House Standard for the Climates of the United States.” This thesis helped lay the groundwork for the PHIUS+2015 Standard and the Building America Study, which developed it.
