Green parking lot

Some surface options are open joint pavers, porous asphalt, pervious concrete, or a turf grid.

Drains and low-lying areas for water retention can also be components of a green parking lot.

Another component of green parking lots, according to Toronto's guide, is locations for bicycle storage.

Green parking lots may also power the lighting using solar or wind among other renewable forms of energy.

Many solar canopies are built over parking lots, where in addition to generating renewable power, they also protect the cars from sun, rain and snow.
