Schedule Data on Inhabitants' Behavior for Various Energy Calculation : Part 6-Comparison of time-series for water and hot-water supply event probabilities between the field survey data by Tanaka, Iio et al. and the predicted one

Abstract

Hourly water and hot-water supply event probabilities derived from the time-varying inhabitants' behavior schedule that is generated through the authors' method is compared with the filed survey data by Prof. Iio and his colleagues. This kind of trial seems phenomenal, since the comparison is possible in a form of demand event probability instead of demand utility rate where the predicted data is inevitably contaminated by the assumption of a particular relation between each event and actual utility demand rate. The comparison can be concluded that there is some acceptable derivations but generally fair consistency.
