Sustainable Parking Facility Management
Impark’s parking experts re-engineer parking garages/lots to support energy efficiency and environmentally responsible operations. To date, over 50 percent of our parking facilities are deliberately configured to eliminate vehicle idling.
Solar meters
Impark predominantly uses battery-powered parking meters that are recharged using solar panels to reduce/eliminate lead batteries and electricity use.
Lighting
We install low-energy lighting solutions and controls as standard and can assist our clients when more extensive lighting retrofits are requested.
EV Charging Stations
Where possible, Impark uses a smart system that notifies drivers when their EV is fully charged. We can also offer a valet-stacking service to move fully charged EVs to regular parking spaces.
Cyclist Amenities
Impark offers a wide range of amenities to accommodate cyclists and promote sustainable methods of transportation, including bike racks, bike valet, and tune-up stations.
Painting and Signage
Impark uses low lead, non-volatile organic compound paints in all painting and signage projects. We comply with WHMIS procedures for the safe handling and disposal of materials.
Carpooling & Car Sharing
We encourage carpooling at many of our facilities to reduce single-occupancy car journeys, congestion, and emissions. Shared vehicle stations can also be found in a large number of Impark’s downtown facilities.
