PARKING EDITION, March 2012 
Greetings!

Green parking initiatives have been some of the hottest topics for years. More recently, however, many have come under fire as critics point to implementation costs and question whether the benefits outweigh them. While going green is great in theory and makes for good press, the question remains - is there still money to be made in going green?
 Green Parking
Addressing Concerns for a Greener Today & Tomorrow

With new products entering the market every day, it can be difficult to determine which green products and projects will yield a positive return on investment. Not all products and directives have or will come out on top.

 

With that said, there are still a number of undeniable benefits to be achieved through green parking initiatives, including reduced pollution and energy. And, if executed correctly, they can help foster growth for your bottom line.

EV (Electric Vehicle) Charging Stations

The Challenge: Lackluster demand due to low electric vehicle sales.

 

Solution: As oil reserves disappear and gas prices rise, we'll see an increase in electric vehicle sales, inevitably boosting charging station needs. Although you don't need to rush out and retrofit your entire structure with charging stations, it would behoove you to designate a couple spaces and start offering the service so you can reap the rewards in the future, such as: 

 

✓ Be ahead of the trend.

✓ Gain sizable market share.

Get a leg up on the competition. 

Parking Guidance

The Challenge: Although this product is proven to help decrease harmful emissions, fully integrated systems have a reputation for being expensive.

 

Solution: Consider a top-of-the-line, cost-effective McCain Parking Guidance System, tailored to meet your project's specific needs and budget. You can always upgrade and add components as project funding becomes more readily available. Even basic parking guidance will help you:

 

✓Foster customer loyalty.

✓Reduce structure's environmental footprint.

Energy Efficient Lighting

The Challenge: Swapping out bulbs costs money, can be time consuming and even difficult to retrofit in some cases.

 

Solution: Energy-efficient lighting, for instance, LED luminaires, utilize less power and energy while being more optically efficient. The difference in energy consumption alone makes it possible to breakeven within the first 2-3 years based on the project scope and the solution selected. This green initiative will yield savings, such as: 

 

✓ Decrease your energy bill.

✓ Increase tax deductions.

 

Truly a win-win!

Go Green!

Despite recent criticism, green parking solutions are still moving full steam ahead, even in a tight economy. Most likely one of these solutions will be right for your business, so reach out to a provider today!
