If carrying this into an energy model, I might also consider either using the hourly flow profiles (Fig 24, a few pages following), and/or the ASHRAE “standardized” fractional schedules for various building occupancy types featured in 90.1-1989 & carried forward into a bazillion other energy standards/references.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span
