  • Appendix C – Lighting Audit and Design Tool

(The prior version of the redline was incorrect and replaced with the correct version on May 10, 2012. The clean version was correct and accurate.)

  • Note: TUS staff believes this redlined version of the 2012 TRM reflects most of the changes made to the 2011 TRM, but we cannot give 100 percent certainty that all the changes were captured. Many of the formatting and structure changes will not be reflected in this version, however actual text, equations, algorithms, and protocol-related information have been included as much as possible. The reader is advised to make their own assessment. As such, where this redlined version of the 2012 TRM update conflicts with the final, non-redlined version, the final, non-redlined version of the 2012 TRM update controls.
