Parking Garages
Though widely overlooked, parking garages are typically extremely energy inefficient and present great opportunities for system upgrades.
In particular, parking garage lighting improvements, while fairly small in scope, are quick payback measures that can be used to offset more ambitious energy conservation measures elsewhere on your facility. Improved lighting also offers the additional benefits of increased safety and reduced maintenance costs. Clark Energy Group will look into a wide array of potential lighting improvements at your parking garage, including:
- High-efficiency lamps
- Lighting controls
- Dimmable ballasts
- Daylight sensoring
In addition to these quick and easy solutions, Clark Energy Group will look for ways to leverage your lighting-related cost savings to subsidize more ambitious energy measures such as solar photovoltaic (PV) power systems.
Certain parking garage structures are ideal for PV systems, particularly those is dry, sunny climates. Our team has designed and implemented solar PV on numerous parking structures, including parking decks and parking canopies, and can quickly assess whether your site is a suitable candidate for a solar system. As you analyze your portfolio and identify energy-intensive buildings for improvements, don’t let your parking garage become an afterthought.
