Introduction
The behavioural model applied in the Behavioural Water Use node provides simulation of water use using the Behavioural End-use Stochastic Simulator (BESS) of Thyer et al. (2011). BESS stochastically simulates individual end-uses (outdoor, shower, washing machine, toilet, tap etc) at the household scale at sub-daily time steps using algorithms that probabilistically simulate an individual household’s use of common household water-using appliances. The conceptual framework for BESS as applied in the Urban Developer Plugin, is as follows:
