Parking Matters

Parking supply and management is the difference between smart growth and congested or sprawled environs:

–  Parking consumes land and resources –  Parking is expensive –  We need to manage and supply parking in-line with broader goals

Parking is what your car does 90% of the time

Smarking


If transportation produces 30% of all global warming emissions,

and… if 60% of transportation emissions come from cars and light trucks Can structures and lots that house these vehicles be sustainable?


Groundbreaking or Greenwashing?


Changing Nature of Parking


USGBC and LEED®

2011 USGBC Ruling “Parking garages may not pursue LEED certification. More specifically, buildings that dedicate more than 75% of floor area (including areas not covered, enclosed, or conditioned) to the parking and circulation of motor vehicles are ineligible for LEED.”

GPC: A Green Garage Resource


Measure A-‐1: Parking Pricing

Free Parking promotes increased Land Use, Congestion, Vehicle Traffic, Demand, Pollution


Measure A-‐1: Parking Pricing Benefits • Travel Impacts • Parking Management • Reduced Automobile Use and Congestion • Efficient Land Use

• Cost Recovery Pricing (fees set to recover facility costs) reduces number of spaces needed by 10-30% from free parking

• Revenues • Low Price Elasticity (-0.1 to -0.3), thus 10% increase in parking fees reduces vehicle trips by 1 to 3 percent

• Equity


Measure A-‐1: Parking Pricing

Certification Points [6 points] Charge for parking Best practices • Pricing same or lower than street parking to prevent circling


B1: Placemaking

•  “Placemaking is an approach to the planning, design and management and programming of public spaces.

• Placemaking capitalizes on a local community's assets, inspiration, and potential, with the intention of creating public spaces that promote people's health, happiness, and well being.”


Measure B1: Placemaking


Measure B1: Placemaking

• Certification Points: Max 6 Points

• [1-6 points] Depending on impact and relevance

• Multiple features can be counted towards the maximum points allowed.

• Subjective criteria, but guidelines in book

• Benefits l  Strengthens community l  Keeps people local, reduces driving l  Optimizes space and public assets


Measure C8 : Lighting Controls

• Commercial Garage Example:

• Facility open: 06:00 – 22:00

•  Installing Simple Mechanical Timers • Turns lights off from 22:00-06:00

Savings: 33%



• Mixed Use Garage example:

•  Facility open: 24/7 •  Peak: 06:00-09:00 and 15:00-18:00 (Full On) •  Off Peak:

Three quarters of the time no activity (Dim to 25%) Quarter of the time there is activity (Full On)

Savings: > 42%



• Occupancy Sensors for parking decks •  - Motion/Infrared, Acoustic, Door/Gate

Trigger, BMS (access cards), Pressure



•  Certification Points: Max 8 Points

•  Interior •  [6 points] 75% occupancy sensors •  [4 points] 50% occupancy sensors •  [3 points] 50% advanced programming •  [2 points] 50% simple mechanical timers •  [1 points] 25% any lighting control

•  Exterior •  [2 points] 60% photocells or occupancy sensors •  [1 points] 60% programmable/schedule controls


Measure C9: Energy Efficient Lighting

•  Advanced technologies are progressing rapidly!
