Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we use FY19 as our performance year given it is the most up-to-date, normal performing year in the past three years. Total GSF is specific to FY19 in this section. However, we had to use current figures for laboratory space, healthcare spaces, and other energy-intensive spaces due to issues capturing historical figures.
