DOI: 10.1016/j.enbuild.2019.03.008
Abstract: Abstract Shower systems, related hot-water systems and pipe losses dominate residential water-related energy. However, many time-based technological, behavioural and environmental factors influence water use and related energy consumption. This has meant that, to date, the… read more here.
