Abstract

This study investigates energy and water consumption patterns in an apartment building through a comparative analysis. Understanding the dynamics of energy and water usage is essential for promoting sustainability and efficiency in residential buildings. The research employs data collection methods to gather information on energy and water consumption from multiple units within the apartment building. Comparative analysis techniques are then utilized to identify trends, variations, and potential areas for improvement in consumption patterns. The findings provide valuable insights into factors influencing energy and water usage, including occupancy patterns, appliance efficiency, and resident behaviors.
