Add an EV Charging Parking Solution
EV charging is a popular green parking strategy. It can positively impact your operation’s bottom line, the environment, and the community.
With range and charging anxiety still some of the most significant barriers to EV adoption, increasing the supply of charging resources is one of the most significant green contributions a parking provider can make.
By becoming a destination for EV drivers, your parking asset can also secure an additional revenue stream. As we approach a recession, diversifying your revenue streams is one of the best ways to stabilize profits through uncertain times.
Use Permeable Pavers for your Parking Lot Areas
Permeable pavers can be used to reduce runoff and improve rainwater filtering. They can be ideal for decorative barriers, entryways, ancillary parking areas, and exterior landscaping.
However, it is important to consider that permeable pavers may not be durable enough to withstand the demands of high-traffic areas. They also may not be suitable for areas that need to be handicap-accessible.
Use Pervious concrete for your Parking Spaces
In high-traffic parts of a parking asset, pervious concrete can be a great green option. This will reduce toxic runoff and improve the absorption of water back into the ground. It can also absorb more sunlight and heat, reducing the heat island effect.
Add Plants
Especially in making green renovations to an existing structure, adding plants can be a smart and eco-friendly addition to any parking operation. They, too can contribute to reducing the heat island effect. Plants also absorb CO2 emissions, prevent erosion and runoff, and add a welcoming, green appearance to your parking asset.
