• Identify the key factors that must be considered when making an effective comparison between lighting systems
• Describe in detail why energy management techniques are important and explain to an owner or property manager why (and how) one system has a lower total overall cost of installing, owning and operating, in today's dollars, and should be specified over another alternative payment
