SJFD Joins in on the Green Vision Clean Energy Showcase


On December 8th the City of San Jose hosted the San Jose Green Vision Clean Energy Showcase across from the street from City Hall. Through a labor/management collaborative effort the SJFD was able to build one of the roof props that holds two solar panel displays. This interactive showcase will serve as a knowledge hub for visitors from across the Silicon Valley , providing hands-on education, experience, and information on solar, wind and energy efficiency technologies enabling the community's participation in San Jose's Green Vision. The showcase will house demonstrations of cutting edge technologies and services available on the market today and in the future. At the conclusion of the interactive showcase the SJFD will retain the prop and be able to use it in the future for ongoing training. Captain Matt Pass spoke to the visitors as the subject matter expert regarding Solar Voltaic Systems and he continues to be the Fire Departments best advocate that has led to safer systems and better code development.
