About Vernier Software & Technology

Earth Day cleanups, solar power, and public transportation benefits are just the beginning of Vernier's commitment to the environment and the future.

Vernier Software & Technology has a number of innovative environmental features at our building, including a ZipCar, a bike room, and 17,000 watts of solar panels. We provide our employees alternatives to driving to work and programs to encourage environmental stewardship.

If you visit Portland, Oregon, we encourage you to stop by for a tour and a Segway ride.
