(B) Economic assumptions for life-cycle cost analysis; and
(C) Other criteria for building systems and technologies;
(3) Identify and recommend energy conservation maintenance and operating procedures that:
(A) Are designed to reduce energy consumption within the public facility; and
(B) Require no significant expenditure of funds;
(4) Require the maximum interchangeability and compatibility of equipment components when energy management equipment is proposed for any facility of a public agency; and
