Green Building
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.
In October 2008, as a result of input from stakeholders such as design and maintenance professionals, developers, home builders, and contractors, the City of San Jose has adopted a Private Sector Green Building Policy.
On June23, 2009 the City Council adopted an Ordinance which implements the Private Sector Green Building Policy . The following materials provide information on the Green Building Policy and Ordinance for Private Sector New Construction:
