Energy-efficient architecture revolves around not only technology and materials, but equally around the functional benefits we gain across time from the design details. After all, every square foot of built-up space costs time, money and effort, hence it is important to check the implications of our ideas and decisions, to choose the most effective solution among the available options.

If parking is on ground level, the car can be placed up to the edge of the property, whereas a ramp can happen leaving the setback. This setback space gets cut off from the rest of the site, rendering it nearly useless. Even to access this area, we need to cross the ramp.
This analysis is not to negate the idea of a basement, but to discourage car parking in the basement. If we analyse expenses, advantages and disadvantages of basement car parking, we see more disadvantages than advantages. Equally well, this analysis is to suggest a methodology to be adapted when we design green buildings, where we may weigh the options for their real benefits and get an efficient building.
