The good correlation between the simulated water demand patterns and the measured patterns indicates that the basis of the design-demand-equations.The models are based on water demand patterns simulated by SIMDEUM, an end-use model to simulate residential and non-residential water demand patterns.The SIMDEUM based rules give a better prediction of the measured peak values for cold water flow than the existing guidelines and for several types of buildings. Therefore, they will lead to improved design of distribution network, of indoor plumbing and water heater capacity, resulting in more hygienic and economical installations. Due to the modular structure of SIMDEUM, it can be employed to construct all type of buildings, such as schools, sport complexes, restaurants, for which similar rules can be developed applying the presented procedure.
