8-103 - Application.

§  8-103.  Application.    On  or before April first, nineteen hundred  eighty, the commissioner shall promulgate, and thereafter may amend from  time to time,  standards  relating  to  the  lighting  of  all  existing  buildings,  or classes of such buildings, for purposes of minimizing the  consumption of energy and providing for the efficient utilization of the  energy expended for lighting in the use and occupancy of such buildings.  Such standards shall be cost effective and shall not impair  the  health  and  safety  of  the  occupants  of the property. The standards shall be  deemed cost effective if the cost of implementing them would be equal to  or less than the present value of energy and  maintenance  savings  that  would  be  expected  over a seven-year period in a building to which the  standards are applicable.
