This is not something that would be expected by anyone who has been in a parking lot before or Unitronics-P2-Parking
even see it work. People have an endless load of complaints against them ranging from the cost One-stop automated parking solution design,installation,
and the space to the fact that they are just not eco-friendly at any point of time. While parking implementation

lots may not be our favorite spot, they are such a must that we can never do without them. Even
if that means sometimes just spinning around in circles!

Santa Monica Civic Center parking structure is the first LEED certified parking structure on the

truly green. Equipped with an array of solar panels that power the building, it makes pretty much Add a bit of sense to
its own energy. Add to this the fact that the LEDs that are used to do the lighting around the the element of
space and you have one clean combination to go hyper-green. creativity n voila the
result is Amy Hunting!
Other sustainable features include a storm drain water treatment system, recycled construction I am a big fan of all the
materials and waste, low-VOC paints and coatings, low-e glazing for heating and cooling amazing independent

and Planners, t provides 900 spaces spread through six levels of above grade parking and one
and a half levels of below grade parking. The building looks more like a green hub at this point
than just a parking lot. I bet it is a lot greener than most homes across the country and that in
itself is a fine achievement. Just hope one does not have to spin around in circles in this!
