OUR COMMITMENT
Our involvement with green development takes
place on three levels PRINCIPLES We understand
and respond to the principles of sustainable
design on a daily basis within our office. As
degreed architects, planners, and engineers, we
place issues of appropriate use of materials and
economical design of systems at the forefront of
our thinking. We currently have one LEED AP on
staff, and six more of our professionals are
actively pursuing LEED accreditation. PRACTICES D
MA follows an internal, seven-point plan to
minimize our impact on the environment. We
reduce waste by exploiting digital technology. We
recycle paper, cardboard, plastic, glass, and
metals in-house. We purchase recycled content
paper and use it wisely. Rather than buying
plastic water bottles for the office, we drink
from the tap in reusable glasses. We understand
that there is a great deal more we can do, and we
are constantly striving to improve our
practices. PROJECTS Our staff is involved in
numerous projects, embracing sustainability at
various levels. We identify those that are more
sustainable with a symbol - dma green - seen
below. As former owners, we understand that
quality and environmental sensibility are often
addressed in the same stroke. We are proud to be
contributing our expertise to groundbreaking
projects for many of our valued clients.
DMA is committed to improving the sustainability
of every project. Clients increasingly seek us
out for our combination of high quality retail
development experience, our understanding of the
fundamentals behind LEED, and our broad knowledge
of sustainable design and construction.

LOCAL LAW 1st Scottsdale, Arizona first city in
US to require all new City buildings to be LEED
Gold Certified 3/30/05 2nd Portland, Oregon
second city in US to require LEED Gold
certification for new City facilities
4/28/05 The Connecticut state legislature last
year passed An Act Concerning Electricity and
Energy Efficiency, which includes the new
requirements that eventually all public and
private construction projects costing over 5
million and renovation projects costing over 2
million will have to meet state standards that
will be consistent with or more demanding than
LEED silver certification.
In recent months, both Boston and Washington,
D.C., started requiring large, newly built
offices to achieve LEED certification. San
Francisco city officials are expected to follow
suit.

CITY ORDINACES Phase 1 of the new ordinance
requires buildings less than 50,000 square feet
to be 15 percent more efficient than the base
energy code, use 20 percent less water than
required by the current Dallas Plumbing Code, all
roof surfaces with a slope of 212 inches or less
must meet the EPAs Energy Star low-slope roof
requirements and meet outdoor lighting
restrictions, except for safety and security
reasons as applicable. Over 50,000 square feet,
phase 1 requires buildings to meet 85 percent of
the points required under the appropriate LEED
rating system for a certified level, including
one point for 20 percent water use reduction, and
a minimum two points for 14 percent more
efficient than the base energy code. Phase 2,
beginning in 2011, requires all commercial
projects to be LEED certifiable under the
appropriate LEED rating system, including one
point for 20 percent water use reduction, and a
minimum three points for 17.5 percent more
efficient than the base energy code.
Dallas Adopts Green Building Ordinance The Dallas
City Council has adopted a green construction
ordinance which aims to reduce energy and water
consumption in all new houses and commercial
buildings constructed in the city. The ordinance
will be implemented in two phases.
Reported by Environmental Leader, April, 2008
TRENDS
29
CITY ORDINACES Boston just passed a provision
that requires all new construction over 50,000 to
be LEED Certifiable which is not the same as
saying the project must be LEED Certified, but is
still a step in that direction. In San
Francisco, proposed green building codes could be
phased in through 2012 and according to GreenBiz,
the regulations would apply to new residential
high-rises over 75 feet, new commercial buildings
over 5,000 square feet and renovations on
buildings larger than 25,000 square feet.
San Francisco has taken another step towards a
LEED based building code. The codes have been
passed on to the Board of Supervisors (one step
from the Mayors approval and Mayor Newsom has
said he will sign) and would require compliance
with LEED standards.

CITY ORDINACES Two Los Angeles City Council
committees voted Friday to require that all major
commercial and residential developments slash
projected energy and water use and reduce the
overall environmental footprint. Under the
ordinance, privately built projects over 50,000
square feet -- of which there are roughly 200
constructed annually -- must meet a "standard of
sustainability" by incorporating a checklist of
green practices into their building plans. The
checklist includes a choice of such items as
low-flow toilets, paints with low emissions, use
of recycled materials, efficient irrigation,
solar panels and use of natural light.
Los Angeles may be a month away from requiring
all private projects over 50,000 sf to meet a
sustainable standard. Pasadena, Santa Monica,
Long Beach and West Hollywood have adopted
mandatory green building standards.Los Angeles
would be the largest city in the nation to do so.

• Adobe's garage exhaust fans used to spin
  nonstop. After a 100 adjustment, they now turn
  on only when needed to reduce carbon monoxide
  levels, saving the company some 67,000 a year.
  The garage also provides employees with six
  plug-in stations for electric cars as well as
  locked cages for bicycles.
• Adobe adjusted its air circulation fans to speed
  up or slow down as needed rather than remain
  fixed in an on or off position--a move that saved
  the company 47,000 in one building within a
  year.
• Adobe altered its air conditioning systems to
  better regulate energy usage. Installing an
  adjustable speed motor in its west tower has
  helped save the company 39,000 in one year.

WATERLESS URINALS DMA is leading a completion of
a major casino project and has investigated the
use of waterless urinals in the casino
restrooms. Though waterless urinals save water
use charges, this project was too far along and
the maintenance was seen as prohibitive.
CLOGS Removed a waterless urinal after three
years of usage due to a clog caused by build up
of a crystal type solid. Had to physically remove
the urinal from the wall to un-clog the sanitary
sewer piping - an issue common to most waterless
urinals MAINTENANCE REGIME Waterless urinal
manufacturer stated hot water needed to be dumped
into the urinal on a regular basis to remove this
crystal build up.  Additionally, the cartridge
insert in waterless urinals do have to be
routinely replaced every 8 to 10 months - more
frequent in a Casino because of the increased
usage.  Typically no operating cost savings are
realized with waterless urinals due to increased
maintenance costs TOO LATE   Majority of the
water distribution piping has already been
prefabricated by the mechanical contractor.  A
signification portion of the buildings domestic
cold water piping mains have already been
installed. Very little or no cost savings
associated with deleting the domestic cold water
piping serving the urinals will be realized. NOT
APPROVED It is our opinion the local plumbing
code officials will not approve the installation
of waterless urinals.

SOLAR THERMAL HOT WATER SYSTEMS Solar thermal
hot water installations are one of the simplest
payback opportunities for retail applications.

• ARBYS EXPERIENCE
• Thirty-three Arbys restaurants in North Carolina
  are switching from conventional natural gas hot
  water heaters to solar powered hot water heaters.
  
• 132 solar panels will produce the hot water.
• Under Appalachian Energys Renewable Energy
  Service Company model, the franchisee, The
  Winning Team, wont pay any up-front capital
  costs.
• By going solar the company says it will cut its
  bill for natural gas by approximately 12,000
  annually, and reduce greenhouse gases by around
  100,000 pounds.

ENERGY SAVINGS Can save as much as 25-65 of
energy costs while reducing carbon
emissions. MARKET SHARE The geothermal industry
is setting it sights on capturing over 30 of the
industry by 2030 Certain companies are seeing
growth of almost 100 annually. PAYBACK The
systems offer payback within 3-8 years (maybe as
little as 2-3 years for large commercial
buildings) depending on location and energy
prices. GREEN COLLAR SHORTAGE The increased
demand for installers and drillers and lack of
skilled labor is the bottleneck in the industries
growth prospects. Also, materials are often back
ordered 6 months. INCENTIVES Tax credits, at
this point, only benefit homeowners.
GROUND-SOURCE HEAT PUMPS Also called geothermal
heat pumps, these systems use relatively constant
sub surface temperatures either just underneath
the ground in a horizontal orientation (6
under) or in a vertical, drilled orientation (up
to 200 to 300 down). Systems use a heat
exchanger to absorb heat in the summer and to
provide it in the winter. A body of water
improves efficiency, but is not required.

ENERGY SAVINGS This system will save as much as
12 of energy costs and up to 30 of peak costs
through one of three meters of energy
costs. CARBON EMMISSIONS It is estimated that
10,000 pounds of carbon emissions will be saved
by the use of renewable energy versus coal fired
electricity. PAYBACK The system will offer a
simple payback of 3-4 years the more accurate
number is 8 years. INCENTIVES Between the LADWP
incentive rebate and the tax benefits including
accelerated depreciation and taking the Renewable
Energy Tax Credit (30 of total cost), the total
system cost was reduced by 86 and we will see
additional 1.25 per year in energy
savings. ACTUAL COSTS Actual costs are adding
up to about 7 of system costs
PV INSTALLATIONS DMA is managing the
installation of a 372 kW AC-CEC rated PV
installation in Los Angeles, CA for client. The
system will use 1,408 Schott modules at a 5
degree tilt. The system will stabilize energy
costs for 12 of the connected meter for the next
10 years. Per LADWP requirements the system has
to be warranted and maintained for 10 years. The
PV modules are warranted for 20 years as an
industry standard.

VARIOUS BENEFITS Green roof technologies can
reduce storm water run-off from 65-90, can cut
heat loss by 50, and air conditioning costs by
25 all while reducing the heat island effect by
3.6 degrees F GROWING TREND Chicago has more
than 2.3 million square feet of planted green
roofs the most of any city in the US. ROOFING
CONCERNS Having the roofer supply the planted
trays on the Barneys New York project made the
roof warranty concerns go away. HEAVY LOADS The
structure of the 900 project had to be
significantly reconstructed to support the 18
deep planters and trellised common area
patio. HIDDEN BENEFITS Permit time can be
reduced and condo sales benefit from the improved
view and open space.
GREEN ROOFS DMA has lead the installation of two
very different green roofs. INTENSIVE The
Residences at 900 North Michigan This was a
patio/roof deck amenity for a luxury condominium
retrofit over the 900 North Michigan high-rise,
mixed-use project. EXTENSIVE Barneys New
York The green roof for this flagship store will
be a 4 tray system provided by the roofer.

COOL SAVINGS California scientists say white
roofs can cut a buildings energy use by 20
percent The potential energy savings in the
U.S. is in excess of 1 billion annually, said
California Energy Commissioner Art
Rosenfeld Replacing non-reflective, dark roofing
materials with white ones on an average house
with 1,000 square feet of roof would result in
an equivalent CO2 offset of 10 metric tons
annually At the current offset value of 25 per
metric ton on the European CO2 markets, that
could be worth 250 Beginning in 2009, new
residential roofs and retrofit construction in
California will be required to have
cool-colored roofs which reflect a higher
fraction of the suns rays than current roofing
materials of the same color
WHITE ROOFS Lighter colored roofs improve a
roofs albedo or reflectivity reducing urban
heat island effects and reducing ambient
temperatures.

SIZE MATTERS AeroVironments rooftop turbines,
which sell for about 6,500, is an expense
unlikely to be recouped in electricity savings
anytime soon Paul Glenney, director of the
companys clean energy technology center, the
edge of a long, flat roof (above, say, a big-box
store or warehouse) can experience up to 40
percent extra wind Single, residential grade
turbines generate so little electricity that some
energy experts are not sure the economics will
ever make sense By contrast, turbines being
installed at wind farms are getting ever larger
and more powerful, lowering the unit cost of
electricity to the point that they are becoming
competitive with electricity generated from
natural gas Rooftop turbines still account for
only 1 percent or so of the 10,000 small wind
turbines that are sold each year in the
country Not only are cities less windy than the
countryside, but the air is choppier because of
trees and the variation in heights in buildings.
Turbulence can wear down a turbine and make it
operate less efficiently Experts estimate that
electricity from rooftop turbines may cost 1.50
a kilowatt hour or more Power from a well-sited,
tower-mounted turbine would cost 10 cents to 50
cents a kilowatt hour Power from utility-scale
wind farms costs less than 10 cents a kilowatt
hour
WIND TURBINES Roof mounted wind turbines are
most economical in large wind farms versus small,
one off installations, but commercial, building
mounted turbines are in use to offset small
amounts of building electrical energy
consumption.

TRANSPIRED SOLAR COLLECTORS These heated air
chases rely on the suns heating energy and
circulation fans to boost the buildings heating
and air conditioning systems. Though used
primarily in cool zones, they can be applicable
in hot climates by venting the hot air through
the roof.
ENERGY SAVINGS These systems can reduce the
heating costs of a structure by 1-5/square foot
of panel applied to the exterior. PAYBACK Paybac
ks are typically in the 3-5 year range. One
industrial structure is generating roughly
23,000 in energy cost savings annually. APPLICAT
