Parking facility group embraces green practices

摘要

The seven winners of the International Parking Institute's 2014 Awards of Excellence competition demonstrate that today's parking structures and surface lots can be architecturally innovative. Hon-orees in the 32nd annual competition range from the cast-in-place, post-tensioned Park Place in Missoula, Mont., to the green 201 Clare-mont Street surface lot in Toronto. "Although they differ in appearance and use, all share a commitment to improving the cities they serve," explains IPI Executive Director Shawn Conrad, CAE. "The 2014 winners showcase how significantly parking facilities and operations have been transformed in recent years as a result of advances in technology focused on efficiency and sustainability.
