1 Sum of major fuels. Weather-adjusted energy consumption for 1999 and 2003 is not reported because 1999 and 2003 CBECS do not estimate energy consumption for space heating, space cooling, and ventilation. To aggregate Census division degree-days to Census regions, each division value is weighted by its percentage of the total Census region population.
2 Estimates adjusted to match the 1995 and 1999 CBECS definition of target population. More information available online: http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cbecs/comparesampdesign.html
3 Per employee during main shift.
4 Laboratory buildings are included in the "Other" category.
Q = Data withheld because the Relative Standard Error was greater than 50 percent or fewer than 20 buildings were sampled.
