THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 241b. (1) The department shall consider the energy

 

efficiency of all materials used in the construction, alteration,

 

repair, or rebuilding of a building or facility owned or operated

 

by this state.

 

     (2) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (5), the

 

department shall issue directives to require all buildings and

 

facilities owned by this state to use high-efficiency lamps when

 

replacing an existing lamp or installing a new lamp.

 

     (3) In the event that the state leases a building or facility,

 

the state shall, whenever feasible, lease a building or facility

 

with high-efficiency lighting.

 

House Bill No. 4217 as amended March 5, 2009

     (4) The department shall issue directives to require all

 

buildings and facilities owned by this state to use electronic

 

ballasts when replacing an existing magnetic ballast or when an

 

electronic ballast is needed to support a new high-efficiency lamp.

 

If the replacement of an existing lamp or ballast requires major

 

renovations to the surrounding structure or other cost-prohibitive

 

building modifications, the department shall replace the lamp or

 

ballast during the next major building renovation.

 

     (5) The department may allow the use of lower efficiency lamps

 

in historical buildings [or in cold weather applications] if the

 department determines that a high-

efficiency lamp will not operate in a manner that provides adequate

 

illumination or energy efficiency.

 

     (6) As used in this section, "high-efficiency lamp" means a

 

lamp with a luminous efficacy of at least 50 lumens per watt.
