Exploration should include

• energy performance policies
• building components (e.g., lighting, equipment, insulation, building envelope, windows)
• energy sources, including alternative and renewable
• energy harvesting (e.g., the relationship between lighting power density sources and natural daylighting)
• energy usage, including energy performance measurement and monitoring.
