Illinois State Building Energy Expense Study FY92 and Projected FY93-95

摘要

During FY92 the state of Illinois spent over $124 million for electricity,natural gas, coal, fuel oil, propane and steam to operate state-owned and state-leased buildings. Over the next three years it is projected that this will increase to over $128 million in FY95 due to increasing fuel costs. Although some of this cost growth could be eliminated by upgrading plants and equipment to more energy-efficient forms, present state of Illinois budget considerations generally will not allow the large capital expenditures required. In the report, the Department of Energy and Natural Resources attempts to project energy costs for Illinois state buildings from FY93 through FY95. It also identifies energy usage and cost by fuel type and agency for FY88 through FY92.
