Section 155-D:1 Purpose.
The Energy Policy and Conservation Act provides funds to the states for the development of a comprehensive energy conservation plan. The goal of each plan is to reduce energy consumption in participating states by 5 percent of projected 1980 consumption. State plans are required to include certain mandatory measures, 2 of which are the adoption of statewide thermal and lighting standards for new and renovated buildings and lighting standards for existing buildings. This chapter is a key part of New Hampshire's effort to formulate and implement a response to those requirements. This chapter also establishes the framework for future response to changes in federal energy conservation requirements and advances in energy conservation requirements and energy conservation technology.
