Structure of domestic hot water consumption
International Journal of Energy Research, 1985 We analyse the time and volume distributions for hot water consumption using data acquired from seven New Zealand households. This shows that there is a high proportion of low volume draws, 50 per cent yielding less than 2–31, depending on the household.
