City of Dunedin City Hall

High Performance Building Design

The City Hall achieved Three Green Globes Certification, highlighting its commitment to sustainability and occupant wellness. The design integrates on-site solar photovoltaic systems to offset energy consumption, EV charging stations for public and fleet use, and water-efficient fixtures that minimize resource use. The envelope features bird-friendly glazing and reflective roofing materials that enhance energy performance while maintaining aesthetics.

Indoor air quality is prioritized through advanced filtration, UV treatment, and needlepoint bipolar ionization systems, providing a healthier and more resilient work environment. These integrated strategies underscore Dunedin’s dedication to responsible civic investment, sustainability leadership, and operational efficiency.

The new Dunedin City Hall serves as a model for municipal facilities seeking to balance performance, sustainability, and community engagement. Its design not only reduces operating costs but also enhances comfort, productivity, and environmental stewardship.
