FIKWater: A water consumption dataset from three restaurant kitchens in Portugal

Abstract

With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) and low-cost sensing technologies, the availability of data has reached levels never imagined before by the research community. However, independently of their size, data are only as valuable as the ability to have access to them. This paper presents the FIKWater dataset, which contains time series data for hot and cold water demand collected from three restaurant kitchens in Portugal for consecutive periods between two and four weeks. The measurements were taken using ultrasonic flow meters, at a sampling frequency of 0.2 Hz. Additionally, some details of the monitored spaces are also provided.
