Think Sustainable
At DMJM H&N, we understand the impact that buildings have on the environment. We have long recognized our responsibility in reducing that impact through planning for the wise use of resources and designing for long term efficiency. This is where our holistic building approach is so important. By being involved from the conceptual stage through commissioning and performance monitoring, we can transfer our knowledge of how our low impact, low energy designs work in practice from project to project. As a multi-disciplinary firm, we are able to create integrated and innovative solutions that combine fabric and form with engineering to generate high performing, sustainable buildings. We have extensive experience with the USGBC LEED® system, including assisting in developing standards, contributing to the guidance documents, and designing a large number of highly rated LEED® projects. We have a rapidly growing number of LEED accredited professionals in all our offices, rewarded through a generous incentive scheme.
We encourage the incorporation of the most appropriate green building design techniques and systems that work within a client’s initial capital budget. Part of our role is to help determine the optimal balance between economic, cultural, and ecological areas of sustainability which will meet our clients’ objectives, those of the local community and allow for future adaptation to new technologies. By using innovative modeling techniques and an early stage iterative process, we can design the optimal solution into the project as early, and therefore cost effectively, as possible.
In today’s global economy, our global reach through the AECOM family of companies helps us stay at the forefront of new sustainable techniques and technologies that are so important in addressing the sustainable agenda.

Everyday Environmentalism
The biggest impact we can make is through designing and delivering low impact projects for our clients, however we are also committed to running our business operations in a sustainable manner and a firm wide strategy has been developed to guide all our offices on how to lower their environmental impact. Sustainability champions for each office have been identified to initiate and maintain this positive change. A study is underway to calculate the carbon footprint of our business operations to enable us to set appropriate reduction targets for office energy use and business travel. Our carbon footprint and our efforts to reduce it will be recorded and reported yearly.
A DMJM H&N Green Office Guide to promote best practice across the company provides information on how to run a low energy office, set up recycling schemes, reduce water and material use, set up sustainable procurement strategies, run awareness campaigns and decrease both business and commuting travel mileage.
Spotlight on the DMJM H&N Orange office
The staff of the DMJM H&N Orange offices are pushing forward to make their environment more sustainable by recycling office materials and consumables, and they are soon to install a wormery composting bin for kitchen waste which will provide a nutrient rich compost for the landscaping surrounding the building. Office managers are currently reviewing the procurement of all office consumables and are opting for more sustainable products such as paper plates, recycled content writing pads, non toxic inks and compostable corn starch cups. Overall energy use for the building has been recorded and as a result of an awareness campaign via “Greening Tips” emails, behavioral changes and more efficient equipment should demonstrate lower energy consumption over the coming year.
Spotlight on the DMJM H&N Miami office
A dedicated green team at the Miami office ran a 100-day campaign starting in March 2007 to kick start their green office initiative. This included a focus on recycling, energy efficiency, paper use reduction (including creating notebooks from scrap paper, double sided printing), material use reduction (including replacing disposable Styrofoam cups with stainless steel travel mugs) and reducing commuting car miles through incentives for carpooling and public transit.
