Green Building Policy

Private Sector
Picture of a tree and field

In October 2007, the City of San Jose adopted a Green Vision laying out 10 bold sustainability goals. Green Vision Goal No. 4 is to build or retrofit 50 million square feet of green buildings (public & private) by the year 2022. The City has already adopted a policy for the municipal facilities and is in the process of developing a policy for the private sector.

As part of this process, the City is requesting input from the community as well as stakeholders such as design and maintenance professionals, developers, home builders, and contractors. Given the critical role that the planning, design and construction community will play in the implementation of a private sector green building policy, we want to provide an opportunity for a dialogue that will help inform the development of the policy.

For questions and comments, please contact Michelle Stahlhut, Green Building Planner, at 408-535-7849 or michelle.stahlhut@sanjoseca.gov
