Hi Nick,
we usually use the profiles described by Vajen and Jordan, some are available here:

they are not taken from american data, but maybe can be useful. Regards,

_______________________________________________Hi all,I was wondering if anyone had any experience or data they would be willing to share for typical family hot water usage profiles?I have done lots of research and testing on commercial, but I am working on a side project for a family. I would just need something general for usage profile, what kind of peaks in the morning and night are typically seen for the average american family.I have an idea, but if anyone has any empirical data that would be really helpful.Maybe ASHRAE has published information on this?Thanks,Nick
