8-101 - Purpose.

   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.
