A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to reducing unnecessary artificial lighting in lobbies and hallways.
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Statement of findings and purpose. The Council finds that current egress illumination requirements for lobbies and hallways under the New York city building code result in the electric lighting of egress spaces that are either sufficiently lit by daylight or that are unoccupied. The Council therefore finds that energy could be saved by reducing such excessive lighting requirements for such spaces.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to including environmental concerns as a guiding principle and purpose of the New York city construction codes.
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Statement of findings and purpose. Environmental concerns are not currently expressly stated as a purpose within the intent provisions of the New York city construction codes, although they are implicitly incorporated within such purposes as concerns affecting the public welfare. The Council finds that environmental concerns are of sufficient importance to the city that they should be expressly recognized as a guiding principle and interest in the New York city construction codes.

Section 1. Statement of findings and purpose. Certain current lighting requirements of the housing maintenance code are outdated and do not conform with other New York city codes, in particular the New York city energy conservation code.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to preventing water waste in buildings.
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Statement of findings and purpose. Leaks and equipment malfunctions in buildings have the potential to waste a tremendous amount of water and can persist undetected for years. The council therefore finds that alarms and sub-meters attached to piping supplying water-using equipment will help building managers quickly detect such leaks and malfunctions, and save significant amounts of water from being wasted.
