order of end uses #13

In the Matlab version the order of the end uses is determined by the "hot water simulataneous use" . If the hot water boiler has a limited capacitvy it is not possible to have hot water use at multiple taps at the same time. If someone is in the shower, then the kitchen tap cannot use hot water (or the person in the shower will start to scream - but usually family members will mind this person before that). So in Matlab the order of end use is 1) shower, 2) bath, 3) kitchen tap, 4) bathroom tap, 5) washing machine, 6) dishwasher, 7) wc, 8) outside tap.

pysimdeum does not yet calculate hot water. But to be ready for this, the order may already be altered. Of course this also means that the pdf of subsequent hot water usage must be adjusted.
