- What is FacilityZone?
  
  Using a traditional search engine to find facility-related information on the Internet can be a frustrating task.
  
  Typing "Green" into a traditional search engine and you'll get countless results, but not many will relate to facility management or green building.
  
  FacilityZone simplifies Web searches. The vertical search engine focuses on more than 2 million facility-related Web pages, which means that searches only display results related to facility management.
