2.49.02: Refrigerants endpoints; updated background energy data

This release adds additional endpoints and data describing refrigerant emissions in buildings, as well as a global update to our energy use and fuel mix benchmark values.

With this update, a user may pass in specific refrigerant types and their charges as a list. From this, we can describe refrigerant emissions of at a granular level, with full capability to support LEED credits related to refrigerant management.

The C.Scale data model now includes 141 refrigerants in its internal library. The characteristics of these refrigerants can be queried at the endpoint and included in the calculation by passing the descriptions within the object in the request.

We have harmonized our data source for benchmark EUI and fuel mix values - using time series aggregates from OEDI to construct typical values by climate zone and building type.

This harmonization is particularly exciting as it sets a course for integrating more granular 12x24 or 8760 energy data into the API, as well as exposing estimates by end use.

These values may have regional overrides where more specific data is available.

As part of this update, we also eliminated a vestigial data structure for organizing regional data. The elimination of this data structure gives us greater agility in adding additional geographies to the API.
