 (a) The Bureau of the Census classifies establishments using the 2012 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). 

 (b) The 'Participation' column includes those units which reported any of the nine listed audits performed on energy systems at anytime in 2014, plus those units where the audits performed on energy systems was not ascertained.

 * 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.

 Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 (a) The Bureau of the Census classifies establishments using the 2012 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). 

 (b) The 'Participation' column includes those units which reported any of the nine listed audits performed on energy systems at anytime in 2014, plus those units where the audits performed on energy systems was not ascertained.

 * 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.

 X=Not defined because RSE corresponds to a value of zero.

 -- Estimation is not applicable.

 Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.
