+A detailed breakdown being a necessity of a quality estimate,
+it is important to consider what one means

+MDPB is physically _located_ in Building A,
+but serves only loads in Building B.
+
+If a customer requests a cost breakdown by building,
+under which building would you put MDPB?
+
+Were Building B removed from the contract scope,
+it can be expected that MDPB would be as well.
+Were Building A removed from the contract scope,
+it can be expected that MDPB would be relocated.
+Therefore if the customer requests a cost breakdown by _building_,
+it would be confusing to do so along location.
+That is, to include MDPB and its feeders in the price for Building A.

+Panel_MDPB.Location = Buildings["Building A"]
+Panel_MDPB.Scope = Buildings["Building B"]
