cThe figure is based on reported data from 85 percent of employees and an assumed energy use of 3 megawatt-hours (MWh) per employee for district heat and 12 MWh per employee for electricity for the remaining 15 percent of employees.
dThe figure is based on reported data from 87 percent of employees and an assumed energy use of 12 MWh per employee for electricity for the remaining 13 percent of employees.
eThe figure is based on reported data from 85 percent of ABB employees and an assumed energy use of 12 MWh per employee for electricity for the remaining 15 percent of employees. All Baldor employees covered by the relevant reporting.
