A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS TO CONDUCT A STATEWIDE ENERGY AUDIT OF EXISTING STATE BUILDINGS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to the Department of Commerce, Energy Division, the sum of one million dollars ($1,000,000) for the 1993-94 fiscal year and the sum of one million dollars ($1,000,000) for the 1994-95 fiscal year to be used to conduct technical analyses of all existing State buildings, including buildings in the university system, for the purpose of identifying projects to implement energy conservation measures that will result in an energy savings sufficient to recoup the cost of the energy conservation measure within seven years from the time the measure is implemented.  For the purpose of this act, "energy conservation measure" means rehabilitation, acquisition, or modification of an installation in a facility that is intended to reduce energy consumption, or energy cost, both, or allow the use of an alternative energy source, which may contain integral control and measurement devices.
Sec. 2.  This act becomes effective July 1, 1993.
