The approach taken in developing this plan emphasized these concepts: saving 5% (mandated by PL 94-163) or more of the projected 1980 energy consumption within Illinois; realizing energy savings in a manner that is both cost-beneficial and broad-ranging in its impact among the people of Illinois; taking advantage of ideas from as many energy-use sectors and users as possible; increasing the efficiency in state government through interagency cooperation and consolidation of existing energy-related programs; involving as many state agencies as possible in energy-conservation outreach activities; and establishing one agency to set general guidelines and standards and evaluate all energy-conservation programs administered by state government. The following programs are described: the State Plan; Energy Data Information System; Energy-Efficient Thermal and Lighting Standards; Energy-Efficient Procurement by State and Local Government; Ride-sharing Program; Homeowner's Extension Program; Commercial/Industrial Energy-Conservation Program; Farm Energy-Conservation Program; Low-Energy Corn-Drying Program; Energy Management by Public Utilities Program; Energy-Management Assistance to Local Governments Program; and School Energy Management Program.
