§ 8-101. Purpose. In furtherance of the policy set forth in
subdivision two of section 3-101 of this chapter, the legislature hereby
directs that state lighting efficiency standards for existing buildings
be promulgated to protect the health, safety, security and welfare of
the people of the state, to conserve energy by ways including
eliminating wasteful artificial night lighting and to reduce public
expenditure for energy; and that such standards ensure that economically
reasonable energy conservation techniques be used in the lighting of all
such buildings in the state. It is a further purpose of this article to
encourage, assist and promote compliance with such standards by the
owners and lessors of such buildings.
