Review Space by Space
Different spaces inside the same property may have different operating patterns, technical requirements, responsibilities, and decision paths.
Do Not Start With Generic Savings
Use building-specific fixture, wattage, runtime, electricity-rate, project-cost, and incentive assumptions where relevant.

- Wattage
- Runtime
- Electricity rate
- Project cost
- Incentive
Controls Follow the Building
Control strategies should respond to actual occupancy and operating requirements.
Recognize Specialized Boundaries
Some properties or spaces require specialized engineering, code, life-safety, clinical, hazardous-location, architectural, environmental, or other professional expertise.

- Life safety
- Clinical
- Hazardous location
