Audited planning profile

This shared monthly profile applies a 3× editable baseline across 12 model periods to the home hot water buffer model.

USE THIS PROFILE TO

Estimate recurring household operating cost and compare practical energy-use choices.

DECISION RULE

Use the buffered result for planning and the unbuffered result as the transparent baseline. Define a consistent allocation rule so shared usage is not counted twice. Align the inputs with the actual billing, income or operating month.

NOT INCLUDED

Local tariffs, taxes, seasonal efficiency and regulated charges are not inferred automatically.

VERIFY BEFORE ACTING

Check a recent bill, device specification and current tariff before committing to a purchase or retrofit.
