Most I know don't leave all their lights on, but enough so that anyone looking in would be able to see if someone were inside the building as a security measure.

Many buildings do not have central heat and rely on the heat from lights, computers, equipment, etc to heat the building. My office building only has AC, no heat for this reason.
