Climate change, population growth & limited resources make it imperative that we improve our new & existing buildings, especially schools.

Terrazia offers a full spectrum of high performance building consulting services in order to engage various client markets. We can make the greatest environmental impact by improving our older inefficient building stock. Therefore we primarily focus on assisting building stakeholders to improve existing facilities, especially schools, with efficient utilities and environmental conservation strategies. Focused services include: conduct performance audits with special emphasis on building envelope integrity (free audits awarded to selected schools) to implement most cost-effective conservation measures; install web based smart sub-metering at buildings, especially at multi-facility campuses, to monitor & control utilities usage; obtain LEED EB-O&M or other third party certification to help stakeholders improve their facilities’ performance, operations and maintenance.

Buildings Impact
Buildings impact on our national resources include 12% water use; 65% waste output; and 71% electricity consumption. Start saving now by boosting your existing or planned facilities performance and integrating truly effective environmental, social and economic practices into your daily operations and decision making. High-performing facilities provide an unprecedented opportunity to increase revenue and profitability, drive innovation, increase efficiency and attract and retain top talent. Turn good intention into profitable action by setting an example for others while leading your industry.
