International Experience in the Area of Car park-renovation

The average life-cycle of mobile goods like cars is only at about one tenth of the useful period of the building. Any technical changes made to vehicles concerning the type of drive (gas, diesel, natural gas, electricity), average size (width, height, weight) or type of use (singles with MicroCars, families with MiniVans or SUVs) directly influence the use of the parking garage building. These changes to vehicle use may become a considerable problem for investors and operators if they do not react to these changes quickly enough.

Because of this, parking garage renovations must consider not only maintenance but also changes to the general conditions. Prognostic and sustainable planning can lead to great savings. Some particularly good examples for the adaptation of garages throughout Europe are granted the popular EPA Award for renovated parking garages. Technical advances and international networking help to quickly catch up with current developments and to avoid mistakes.
