Palm Beach Zoo in Florida Builds First LEED Certified Animal Hospital
Feb 27, 2010 – Congratulations to the Palm Beach Zoo for building the first and only Gold Certified LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) animal hospital in the nation. A new 80-panel solar installation covers the green facility. It will supply 13 percent of the building’s energy use with clean energy from the sun. FPL We provided the $100,000 grant to make it possible. It was just one step in helping the popular zoo on its quest to become greener and more sustainable.
