"The Town Hall is a replacement for a small cottage that had been utilized for decades as the meeting location for the Board of Commissioners of Highland Beach. The new Town Hall is a 2,127 square foot facility consisting of four main rooms on a single floor. Every aspect of construction was intended to be green, from the geothermal four zone HVAC system, to the materials used for construction, to the green roof, daylighting, parking for electric golf carts, and provision of bicycle racks. The project uses compact florescent lighting, ambient light and motion detection light switches, energy star appliances, high performing windows, soy-based blown-in insulation, bio-based fuel for part of the energy requirements for heating, photovoltaics for on-grid production of energy, an extensive public outreach program, and a host of green materials."—Town of Highland Beach
