1. Data reflected in the table is as of March 31, 2017.
* Normalized value for a BOMA BESt certified building according to 2012 water benchmarking pilot report by Real Pac. Value normalized against occupant density, occupied hours, landscape irrigation, atypical water-consumption functions and location/climate.
** Value normalized against total number of permanent, temporary, short-term and contract employees as of March 31, 2015 (7,700); representing air and rail travel.
*** Value normalized against total number of permanent, temporary, short-term and contract employees as of March 31, 2016 (7,214); representing air and rail travel.
**** Value normalized against total number of permanent, temporary, short-term and contract employees as of March 31, 2017 (7,615); representing air and rail travel.
