Hello All,
I am currently preparing a model to do fire flow analysis for one of our clients. The current model nodes are set to "Average Day Demand". The city will be performing some field hydrant tests that will be used to calibrate the model. My question is should I calibrate the model based on this current "Average Day Demand" or bump up every node in the model by a factor 1.8 (or something else?) and calibrate to this "Peak Day Demand"? By the way, we are planning to do the fire flow analysis using "Peak Day Demand". Any advice appreciated.
Jack
