Total Parking Solutions is a company with such technology that designs, supply,

operate, and install creative space-saving parking in many parts of the world. It is a part

of WOHR (World Organization for Human Rights) in Canada and has completed many

national projects.

Green Parking Score

Note: They have created 553,516 parking spaces in different countries, with 60

years of experience, which helped reduce 45,632 tonnes of CO2 emissions and

1,110,000 hours saved for the search of parking lots. This unique parking provides

rotating platforms, single cars as well as multiple-car platforms, and rotating rooms to

save space (Solutions, 2022)

Parking is the immediate thought of each car owner, and the user has

substantially covered space in almost every building or house. It also includes the cost

of the ownership. The availability of room for parking and the charges applied have
consequently impacted the regular use of cars. If the parking gets free, it can lead to

dangerous environmental consequences such as CO2 emissions released by vehicles and

increased traffic, leading to delays in reaching anywhere on time. Nobody can neglect

the necessity of parking lots in a society based on cars as the dominant transportation.

(Antonio Russo, 2019)

The major environmental problem related to parking solutions is the

infrastructure cost, which can equal or exceed the costs of cars. Total Parking Solutions

has no doubt created such a solution for parking spaces by minimizing the area and

introducing new technologies to it; however, it also bears a considerable infrastructure

cost as the heavy lifting technology requires a lot of energy, big industries, lots of labor

work and the energy needed in installing it, either on small or big scale projects.

Water Pollution can also affect an organization’s plans and future projects, as it

is essential to do such business which does not negatively impact society. Using grease,

oils, and sediments and cutting heavy metals through water can pollute it. This can

happen in the production industries and on the project installation sites while fixing the

parking spaces. (Ovi, 2016 December)

Environmental Factors that may affect Total Parking Solutions can also be the

“urban heat island” by installing platforms without green plantations or vegetation. The

heat generated through these rotating platforms or climb hill parking patterns can impact

the emissions of air pollutants, greenhouse gases, health, comfort, water quality, and

increase in temperature. This can increase the demand for non-renewable products such

as air conditioning. (Sara, December 2016)
