How to estimate Domestic hot water energy consumption respect to people occupancy ?

I have put types of equipment: clothes washer, Dishwasher, sinks, shower, baths in my model. In that model, outputs = Peak Flow Rate(m3/s) * Flow rate fraction schedule * target temperature

Also, I have some questions regarding the Flow rate fraction schedule. what should be fraction values? should we consider different target temperatures regarding winter, summer, transient?

Apart from my recent model, I want to estimate energy consumptions with respect to people's occupancy. is it possible in energy plus? if yes, give me a suggestion of what should I do?

Thank you for your supports
