Sustainable Design
Energy- and resource-efficient design for parking facilities reduces the effects these structures have on the environment while slashing operating costs and improving customer satisfaction. From energy-efficient HVAC and lighting systems to sensor-based ventilation controls, electric vehicle charging stations and ride-sharing accommodations, parking garages are becoming engines of sustainability.
We promote and encourage sustainable design to help owners and operators harness cost-saving opportunities and meet user expectations. DESMAN has years of hands-on experience planning and designing green parking structures. Whether it’s a new garage or an existing facility, our specialists identify viable sustainable options, explain their economic and environmental advantages and determine how to incorporate green parking solutions.
Parksmart Certification
Those who want to achieve optimal conservation, efficiency and sustainability can seek Parksmart Certification for their garages. Parksmart is the world’s only rating system that defines, measures and recognizes high-performing, sustainable garages. DESMAN’s accredited Parksmart advisors are trained in the Parksmart Certification Standard and the certification process.
