In spite of significant environmental and life- cycle benefits, only 14% of new homebuyers say that their builders told them about available green building or energy-efficiency options and yet, when informed, 62% of homeowners say they would want a "green", environmentally-friendly home and are willing to pay more for it, according to Smart Homeowner's Market Focus. The public and builders alike deserve to be better informed.

TerraZia Corporation is currently seeking motivated partners to help create an entirely new groundbreaking television series that will widely promote sustainable building construction and thereby implement a strategy of change for our built environment for years to come.

TV Series Title:
TerraZia >> Building Green

TV Series Format:
Non-Fiction Reality (INFO-TAINMENT)

TV Series Logline:

Well-known celebrities explain sustainable and universal design concepts as a Virginia architect builds his  high-performance home using green building products and featured manufacturers demonstrate green product development and availability.

This highly entertaining and informative TV series will consist of at least 13 half-hour episodes filmed during the construction of a new high-performance home in Roanoke, Virginia. TerraZia Corporation will co-produce the new series in collaboration with leading television production professionals for initial airing on selected cable and satellite channels.  Pending success of initial showings, we anticipate major national and international networks interest in airing the series and perhaps expand the program with additional productions of a similar nature.

Located on a south-sloping wooded site in Roanoke, Virginia, this unique earth-sheltered, solar-powered & universally accessible home, named TerraZia, will be a media showcase and long-term performance testing facility for the most innovative design concepts and green building products.

Each program episode will consist of three segments:

1.      A featured celebrity co-host explains sustainable design concepts and compares benefits versus more traditional design and building methods.
 

2.      As TerraZia is constructed, the design architect shows how sustainability is achieved with rational design principles and currently available green building products and concepts.
 

3.      Manufacturers demonstrate their green products development, costs, availability and future possibilities.

This program will also test the market for a new television network, ENVIRONMENTAL TV, which will focus on regional, national and international environmental issues and related topics of public interest.
