| Model Lighting Ordinance (MLO) Released for Public Review |
The IDA/IES Joint Committee proudly announces
the release to public review of the Model
Lighting Ordinance (MLO).
For three years, IDA and the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES)
have collaborated on the creation of this breakthrough piece of civil
legislation, designed to promote universal implementation of energy
efficient, dark sky friendly, community outdoor lighting.
The MLO is written in code language to permit easy adoption into community codes and bylaws. Five (5) Lighting Zones of differing stringencies tailor the MLO to local needs and preferences while remaining consistent with the latest energy code criteria. The MLO was tested in Anchorage, AK in 2008 and adjusted to ensure ease of adoption in most communities. Subsequent versions will incorporate guidelines for street lighting, signage, and sports lighting applications. When finished, the MLO will be an invaluable tool in creating efficient and consistent outdoor lighting plans. Read the MLO* *This version is considered at 60% completion. Review comments will be carefully considered for changes and final inclusion in the MLO. |
