<br />"Actual" usage presents the number of kilowatt hours used during the most recent month as well as usage <br />for the calendar year to date. "Baseline Projection" is a projection of the quantity of electricity that would <br />have been used, adjusted for HDD and CDD, based on usage in the t~~~o-year baseline period. The <br />"Difference," if a negative value, demonstrates that less energy was used than projected, resulting in a <br />savings. If a positive value, the "Difference" indicates that more energy ~-as used than projected. <br />In order to allow appropriate "apples-to-apples" comparisons to direct changes in usage, outside lighting has not been included, as accounts are <br />often rolled up for several buildings (i.e., outside lighting for the Government Services Annex includes not only the Annex but also Government <br />Services Center, the Sheriff Department and the New Courthouse). <br />*NOTE: Due to utility billing cycles and dates, the most current complete information for natural gas and <br />electricity usage is for the month of September 2006. <br />
