Simulation inputs

The ML model receives only hot water draw-off and elapsed cycle time.

60-80% historical bin

Inferred from historical heating-cycle energy, not directly measured as flow.

Advanced physical reference parameters Elnett EUN 5 defaults
30.3 °C

The reference is integrated with a one-second step using energy balance, heat loss, and thermostat hysteresis. Continuous outlet flow during reheating is zero by default; prior hot-water draw-off is represented by the calculated lower start temperature.

Outside dense training range

Prediction may look precise but may not be meaningful.

Historical heating cycles learned by the ML model

Representative cycles are shown by default. Thin traces approximate historical variation; rare and excluded profiles can be enabled for comparison.
