Cornell’s Forest Home Parking Garage
None
A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
In July 2015 Cornell’s Forest Home Parking Garage became one of seven parking garages to receive the first Green Garage Certification from the Green Parking Council. Cornell was the only university on the list. The Green Garage Certification offers “a comprehensive sustainability standard for existing and new parking facilities evaluating 48 elements of garage operation, programs, structure, and technology.” Some highlights in Cornell’s garage are that the garage air and lights are monitored and adjusted in real time, the garage system remembers busy usage times and anticipates demand accordingly, and within the garage there are electric vehicle charging stations.
