Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
In 2011, thermal solar hot water panels were installed on the Regional Development Institute building. These panels WILL have a non-electric renewable energy generation value in future reports. However, since they are a new installation, they are outside the
performance year as yet and therefore are not included in the reporting for this credit.
