The Environmental Services Department is the building owner and tenant coordinator.
The EIC and services offered by its tenants contribute to San Jose’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.
