An Experimental Water Consumption Regression Model for Typical Administrative Buildings in the Czech Republic

Abstract

This article focuses on water consumption and its prediction, using regression models designed for an experiment regarding an administrative building in the Czech Republic. The variables considered are pressure and climatological factors (temperature and humidity). The effects of these variables on the consumption are separately evaluated, subsequently multidimensional models are discussed with the common inclusion of selected combinations of predictors. Separate evaluation results in a value of the N3 coefficient, according to the FAVAD concept used for prediction of changes in water consumption related to pressure.This article focuses on water consumption and its prediction, using regression models designed for an experiment regarding an administrative building in the Czech Republic.
