The purpose of this study was to provide a basic historical/descriptive review of the impact of Title III of the National Energy Conservation Policy Act (NECPA), Public Law 95-619.92, Statute 3206, the Institutional Conservation Program on Selected Public Elementary and Secondary School Facilities in Illinois. The descriptive method was chosen for this study. The sources of data for this investigation were the file records of the Illinois Department of Energy and National Resources-Institutional Conservation Program Section, the Illinois State Board of Education Data Systems, Research and Statistics, and School District Organization and Facilities Section files. The sample included 625 public elementary and secondary facilities of the 4248 total facilities as determined by the Research and Statistics Section, Illinois State Board of Education. Using the base year of 1977-78, the researchers identified and analyzed each facility according to the geographic region, date of construction, square footage, usage by grade, total units of energy consumed (converted to METU's) and fuel type. The research recommended that school districts have a formal policy for energy management and conservation.
