During FY 87 the State of Illinois spent more than $113 million for electricity, natural gas, coal, fuel oil, propane and steam to operate state-owned and -leased buildings. Over the next three years it is projected that this will increase to $130 million in FY90 due to increasing fuel costs. Although some of this cost growth could be eliminated by up-grading plants and equipment to more energy-efficient forms, present State of Illinois budget considerations generally will not allow the large capital expenditures required. The increase in energy cost, however, can be reduced by implementing low and no-cost operation and maintenance strategy changes. The Department of Energy and Natural Resources (ENR) State Buildings Energy Program (SBEP) is presently performing energy surveys of state buildings and training of facility personnel to accomplish this. In the report, the Dept. of Energy and Natural Resources (ENR) attempts to project energy costs for Illinois state buildings from FY88 through FY90. It also identifies energy usage and cost by fuel type and agency for FY83 through FY87.
