(a) The Bureau of the Census classifies establishments using the 2017 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

(b) The Establishments column includes those units which reported any of the five listed cogeneration technologies in use anytime in 2018, plus those units where usage of those cogeneration technologies was not ascertained.

(c) This count includes only those establishments that reported any of the five listed cogeneration technologies in use anytime in 2018.

(d) This count includes only those establishments that reported this cogeneration technology in use anytime in 2018.

(e) This includes establishments that have the equipment but are currently not in use as well asthose establishments that do not have or never have had the equipment during 2018.

(a) The Bureau of the Census classifies establishments using the 2017 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

(b) The Establishments column includes those units which reported any of the five listed cogeneration technologies in use anytime in 2018, plus those units where usage of those cogeneration technologies was not ascertained.

(c) This count includes only those establishments that reported any of the five listed cogeneration technologies in use anytime in 2018.

(d) This count includes only those establishments that reported this cogeneration technology in use anytime in 2018.

(e) This includes establishments that have the equipment but are currently not in use as well as those establishments that do not have or never have had the equipment during 2018.
