Indicative performance?

Performance modelling results for this system indicate that a household of 4 to 5 people could save approximately 85 % of its hot water costs (in Zone 1) compared to a standard electric storage hot water system. That means electricity savings of between 3078 kWh/yr in zone 1 and 2708 kWh/yr in zone 2, for a typical hot water demand load for 4 to 5 people (using around 3631 kWh/yr).

Description?
