  1. 1)2019 includes the locations in Germany and Austria, since 2020 also the energy consumption of the office locations in Sweden (of which heat consumption from energy performance certificate data). Partially limited comparability due to delayed availability of actual data.
  2. 2)The share of renewable energies is based on the information provided by the individual energy suppliers per location (market-based approach). Alternatively, the German electricity mix according to the BDEW location-based approach was used for the German region.
  3. 3)Other energy sources include heating oil and heat pumps.
