The implementation of sustainable parking through automated or mechanical parking solutions has significant environmental benefits including a greatly reduced carbon footprint. Other benefits include:
Reduced Pollution and Waste
– Vehicle engines are turned off during storage and retrieval which reduces emissions by up to 80%
– Smaller footprint reduces need for excavation, reducing cost and construction schedule and therefore waste
– Constructed from standardized offsite constructed units with minimal waste
– Robust design and construction – minimum parts changing
Reduced Energy Consumption
– Minimal lighting
– Reduced ventilation requirements
– Reduced passenger lift requirements
– Energy efficient automated machinery
– Reduced barrier control, pay station, lift and fire alarm requirements
– Renewable energy options – solar and wind
– Electric vehicle charging option on car pallets
– Preferred parking for car share and low emission vehicles
Environment Friendly Materials
– High level of recycled material content in steel used (Systems can be easily recycled at the end of life span)
– Responsibly sourced materials, electrical and hydraulic systems.
– Regionally sourced (AGV)
– Vegetable oil
Water Efficient
– Reduces water pollution risks through the use of oil interceptors
– Minimizes local flood impacts through reduced runoff velocity
– Stormwater mitigation measures are commonly integrated into project design
