The Legislature finds and declares that it is in the
interest of the state and of the people thereof for the state to aid
school districts in finding cost-effective methods of conserving
energy in school buildings maintained by the districts.  The
Legislature also finds that while many districts may desire to
participate in energy conservation programs designed to reduce the
steadily rising costs of meeting the energy needs of school
buildings, that the costs involved in improving existing school
facilities to become more energy efficient are often prohibitive.
   It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this chapter to
encourage school districts to retrofit school buildings so as to
conserve energy and reduce the costs of supplying energy.
