This will inform an understanding of time utilisation and the resulting hot water and electrical loads, monthly performance profiles and targets for building systems (heating, hot water, cooling, fans, pumps etc.), and allow appropriate sub-metering strategies to be developed). This document is important in all low energy buildings (including those achieving the Passivhaus standard).’
