2019 South Carolina Code of Laws
Title 10 - Public Buildings and Property
Chapter 1 - General Provisions
Section 10-1-105. Buildings constructed with public funds to include windows which may be opened.
Whereas, state office buildings have been constructed recently with windows that cannot be opened; therefore, heating or air conditioning equipment is in use most all of the time causing use of electrical energy which could be avoided; and
Whereas, it is incumbent upon the General Assembly to do everything within its power to help alleviate the ever-present energy crisis and having windows which could be conveniently opened to let fresh air in would help to some extent in conserving energy. Now, therefore:
Unless agreed to by the Department of Administration, any building constructed with the state funds shall include windows which may be conveniently opened.
HISTORY: 1979 Act No. 199 Part II, Section 29.
