词条 | Green parking lot |
释义 |
Minimized Impervious SurfacesThe largest feature of the parking lot is its paved area, hence, by changing this surface to be more permeable to water the parking lot will drain better. Some surface options are open joint pavers, porous asphalt, pervious concrete, or a turf grid. Drainage may be an important part of a green parking lot because runoff is often a serious concern. In addition to using a more porous surface, a more porous subsurface may be used to maximize drainage through the parking lot surface. Drains and low lying areas for water retention can also be components of a green parking lot. BicyclesAnother component of green parking lots, according to Toronto's guide, is locations for bicycle storage.[2] As bicycles are more environmentally friendly than cars it is important for a green parking lot to contain a bicycle rack. LightingMinimizing energy consumption is another possible envonmental feature. Green parking lots often use scaled lighting; shorter light poles and less intense lighting where pedestrians or bicycles will be, and higher intensity lighting in areas where cars are, to minimize over-lighting of areas that don't need to be lit. Green parking lots may also power the lighting using solar or wind among other renewable forms of energy.[2] VegetationVegetation used surrounding and within green parking lots varies with location. For this reason grasses like Kentucky Blue Grass should not be used in many areas as this grass requires large amounts of water.[1] Trees are also good vegetation as they provide shade and generally have lower water requirements.[2] References1. ^1 {{Cite web|url = http://nepis.epa.gov/Exe/ZyNET.exe/P100D97A.TXT?ZyActionD=ZyDocument&Client=EPA&Index=2006+Thru+2010&Docs=&Query=&Time=&EndTime=&SearchMethod=1&TocRestrict=n&Toc=&TocEntry=&QField=&QFieldYear=&QFieldMonth=&QFieldDay=&IntQFieldOp=0&ExtQFieldOp=0&XmlQuery=&File=D%3A%5Czyfiles%5CIndex%20Data%5C06thru10%5CTxt%5C00000031%5CP100D97A.txt&User=ANONYMOUS&Password=anonymous&SortMethod=h%7C-&MaximumDocuments=1&FuzzyDegree=0&ImageQuality=r75g8/r75g8/x150y150g16/i425&Display=p%7Cf&DefSeekPage=x&SearchBack=ZyActionL&Back=ZyActionS&BackDesc=Results%20page&MaximumPages=1&ZyEntry=1&SeekPage=x&ZyPURL|title = Green Parking Lot Resource Guide|date = February 2008|accessdate = October 5, 2015|website = National Service Center for Environmental Publications|publisher = EPA|last = |first = }} {{portalbar|Ecology|Transport}}2. ^1 2 {{Cite web|url = http://www1.toronto.ca/city_of_toronto/city_planning/urban_design/files/pdf/greening_p-lot_guidelines_jan2013.pdf|title = Design Guidelines for ‘Greening’ Surface Parking Lots|date = January 2013|accessdate = October 8, 2015|website = Toronto City Planning|publisher = City of Toronto|last = |first = }} 2 : Parking|Sustainable urban planning |
