As I was driving to the Bay Area Apartment Brokers Forum this morning, I heard on KLIV that San Jose had approved "Green" Building Standards for Commercial Projects. (Here's a plug for KLIV. I listen to them when I want to know what's going on in Silicon Valley and, especially, when I'm driving in SV. They have the best traffic reports focusing on SV traffic.)
I just caught the highlights (or lowlights depending on where you stand), but you should be able to find more detail on either KLIV or the SJ Mercury website.
1. Commercial Projects greater than 25,000 sf must meet LEED Silver certification.
2. Residential projects of 10 or more units would have to be LEED certified or have a minimum of 50 points on the Build It Green's GreenPoint Rated system.
So, San Jose continues to move toward being "Green".
