GROWING GREENER - LIGHT EFFICENCY COMMUNITY (LEC) POLICY

Bon Accord Council passed a new policy that establishes Bon Accord as a community that will use and incorporate responsible lighting (i.e. street, facility and park) practices and infrastructure.  The policy brands the Town as a Light Efficient Community (LEC) through application of design, technology, and practices used for lighting public and private open spaces as guided by the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA), the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) and the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) regarding design, installation and operation of light sources.  Going forward the Town will use the most effective, efficient, artificial lighting available to minimize energy waste, glare, light trespass and light pollution and employs designs, measures, legislation and good lighting practices to reduce its energy costs and carbon footprint while preserving the natural environment, and ensuring health, safety and a high quality of life for all.
