The Solution
The goal is to design, maintain and/or inhabit a building with the least amount of light emission possible. The key is to reduce the total light emitted from the building from 11:00 pm until sunrise during migratory seasons (Spring: March 15 to June 15 and Autumn: August 15 to November 15).
Extinguish or dim exterior or decorative lighting on any multi-story building. This includes spotlights, logos, lighted clock faces, greenhouses, antennae lighting, etc.
Extinguish or dim the maximum amount of lobby lighting possible.
Minimize the lights in perimeter rooms at all levels of the building.
