San Jose Passes Green Building Standards

The San Jose City Council enacted new Green Building requirements for commercial and industrial building over 25,000 square feet as part of their Green Vision program.  These building must meet LEED Silver standards.  Any residential development of 10 or more units must meet basic LEED certification.  Also, any housing structure over 75 feet must meet LEED Silver standards.  These requirements become effective in 2012.

Interestingly, the structures and building do not need receive actual certification but must be "certifiable".
