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

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?

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

 Green  Parking  and    Sustainable  Mobility  

Measure  A-­‐1:  Parking  Pricing  

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

 Green  Parking  and    Sustainable  Mobility  

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

 Green  Parking  and    Sustainable  Mobility  

Measure  A-­‐1:  Parking  Pricing  

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

 Green  Parking  and    Sustainable  Mobility   34  

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.”

 Green  Parking  and    Sustainable  Mobility   35  

Measure B1: Placemaking

 Green  Parking  and    Sustainable  Mobility   36  

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%

 Green  Parking  and    Sustainable  Mobility   38  

Measure C8 : Lighting Controls

• 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%

 Green  Parking  and    Sustainable  Mobility   39  

Measure C8 : Lighting Controls

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

Trigger, BMS (access cards), Pressure

 Green  Parking  and    Sustainable  Mobility   40  

Measure C8 : Lighting Controls

•  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
