San Jose Green Building Educational Programs

The City of San Jose is sponsoring a series of educational and training events covering a host of green building topics. The workshops are being organized by the City to encourage the use of green building techniques for municipal, commercial and residential building projects and to create greater awareness of green building practices. San Jose has partnered with the Pacific Energy Center and the Solar Living Institute to conduct the workshops.

While some of these education and training events have a fee, many are free of charge and space is limited. Walk-ins will only be taken if registered participants cancel. AIA continuing education credits are available for all courses.
