abstract
This research on domestic hot water use in the UK is based on an existing data set, provided by a boiler manufacturer. The size of the data set (115,000 anonymised homes) and the level of detail enabled higher quality and more in-depth research than in previous studies. It provides: timing and type of hot water demand in homes; volume, temperature and energy demand of hot water use across the day and year; the data needed to support half hourly modelling of energy in the home.

note
[Quote: "The electrification of heat in domestic homes has been identified by the CCC as an important pathway to reducing the 16% of national carbon emissions that are directly attributed to homes. The most recent government estimate is that 18% of heat demand in homes is from hot water." Quote: "Demand has daily (06:00–08:00 and 17:00–19:00), weekly (Sundays) and seasonal peaks." Median household daily demand is ~4kWh.]
