San José Environmental Innovation Center
The San José Environmental Innovation Center (EIC) is a
first-of-its-kind “green enterprise” facility that houses services for
residents and clean tech entrepreneurs – all working for a healthy environment
and economy in our region. With the help of the federal New Markets Tax Credit,
San José transformed a marginal
property
into a showcase of energy- and water-efficient practices. The
Environmental Services Department is the building owner and tenant
coordinator.
The EIC and services offered by its tenants contribute to San José’s
Green Vision goals. These goals include: diverting waste from landfills, creating clean tech jobs, retrofitting buildings to be green, and replacing streetlights with smart zero emission lights. Other benefits accrue from the services offered by the EIC’s three tenants. Visit these websites to learn more:
