Some minor comments within code. Do the measure tests check for more than just success? If not, it would be good to add a test that checks for proper application. Additionally, add a link to the single model example when it's ready.

[ChristopherCaradonna]

you should replace the example models with the most recent 3.7 versions.

[ChristopherCaradonna]

are there space types in schools that you are excluding? Is it reasonable to apply these to gyms, cafeteria, etc.?

[JieXiong9119]

We assume a uniform applicability to all space type to simplify the measure (for now) with the following considerations:

1. The control is applicable to the majority of spaces in the building;
2. The overestimated potential of applying the measure would compensate the underestimated potentia - for example, the lights in corridor area could be dimmed more while the lights in gym should be dimmed less (or skipped) - and such trade-offs are assumed to have negligible impact on the overall performance (especially in stock level).

These are explained in the documentation as well (in the applicability section). Let me know your opinion on this.
