Book excerpt: This research project was undertaken to review detailed energy and water consumption monitoring data which has been collected for 34 multi-unit residential buildings. The project used the data to determine annual energy and water consumption as well as hourly, weekly and monthly energy and water use patterns. Concurrent natural gas and electricity consumption is also detailed. An analysis was undertaken to determine if there was any correlation between the characteristics of the buildings and energy or water use patterns observed. The research revealed that significant variations exist in the normalized energy and water use from building to building and that patterns in the variations were difficult to predict based on building characteristics and occupancy type.
