City of Dania Beach City Center and Solar Lighting Project

The Dania Beach City Center Project includes a Broward County Library, which received the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) gold rating for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings from the U.S. Green Building Council. The library is connected, via an outdoor public plaza, to a "green" municipal garage. The garage was made with recycled construction materials and also catches rainwater for on-site landscaping. It holds four electric vehicle charging stations, parking for hybrid vehicles and bicycle racks.

The Dania Beach City Solar Lighting Project was undertaken after the city conducted their Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) study that indicated a need for additional street lighting in many of the city's neighborhoods to help deter crime. The city selected energy-efficient light fixtures with an integrated, top-of-pole mounted solar power module that capture the sun's energy. These fixtures, which use LED bulbs, are virtually maintenance-free and have nearly limitless life expectancy.
