(a) 'Net Electricity' is obtained by summing purchases, transfers in, and

generation from noncombustible renewable resources, minus quantities sold and

transferred out. It does not include electricity inputs from onsite

cogeneration or generation from combustible fuels because that energy has

already been included as generating fuel (for example, coal).

(b) 'Distillate Fuel Oil' includes Nos. 1, 2, and 4 fuel oils and Nos. 1, 2, and 4

diesel fuels.

(c) 'Natural Gas' includes natural gas obtained from utilities, local distribution companies,

and any other supplier(s), such as independent gas producers, gas brokers, marketers,

and any marketing subsidiaries of utilities.

(d) Examples of Liquefied Petroleum Gases '(LPG)' are ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene,

normal butane, butylene, ethane-propane mixtures, propane-butane mixtures, and isobutane

produced at refineries or natural gas processing plants, including plants that fractionate raw

Natural Gas Liquids '(NGL).'

(e) 'Other' includes net steam (the sum of purchases, generation from

renewables, and net transfers), and other energy that respondents indicated was

used to produce heat and power.

(f) Facility Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning '(Facility HVAC)' excludes

steam and hot water. NF=No applicable RSE row/column factor. * Estimate less than 0.5. W=Withheld to avoid disclosing data for individual establishments.

 Q=Withheld because Relative Standard Error is greater than 50 percent.

 NA=Not available. -- Estimation is not applicable. S=Negative value.

 Notes: To obtain the RSE percentage for any table cell, multiply the cell's

corresponding RSE column and RSE row factors. Totals may not equal sum of

components because of independent rounding. The estimates presented in this

table are for the total consumption of energy (formerly total inputs of energy)

for the production of heat, power, and electricity generation,

regardless of where the energy was produced. Specifically, the estimates

include the quantities of energy that were originally produced offsite and

purchased by or transferred to the establishment, plus those that were produced

onsite from other energy or input materials not classified as energy, or were

extracted from captive (onsite) mines or wells.

Allocations to specific end uses are made on the basis of reasonable

approximations by respondents.
