Estimating residential hot water consumption from smart electricity meter data
Despite the fact that residential water heating is among the most energy-intensive aspects of the water sector, domestic hot water use is often poorly quantified. However, water-related energy savings in the residential sector are possible from the implementation of energy-efficient water heaters. …
