Abstract

Abstract: The use of domestic hot water is influenced by user’s gender and living habits, so the composition and behavior characteristics of user group have great influence on the design and operation control of domestic hot water system. The classification of hot water user group of college students was made by means of statistical analysis of original data, and the parameters related to the probability distributions of hot water use behavior were obtained. The simulation of domestic hot water using by college students was conducted and compared with the data generated from original recorded data, and the results show good agreement between them. The behavior simulation model in this paper can provide data support for differentiated design and operation optimization of domestic hot water system in college.
