A Applicane class, Drawoff class and StateSpace class are defined which only serve to read, write and store input data for the simulation of household behaviour:

class Appliance(object):
    __init__(self, name, cycle_n, cycle_length, cycle_power, standby_power, cal, owner, consumption, delay, 
             activity, frad, fconv, filename):

class Drawoff(object):
    __init__(self, name, cycle_n, cycle_length, cycle_flow, standby_flow, cal, activity, filename):

class StateSpace(object):
    __init__(self, name, occ_n, prob_wd, prob_we, filename):
        self.period = 86400
        self.steps = 144

All __init__(self) functions of these classes have the same structure:

        if filename is None:
            // all given attributes are copied to self._ and written to a file
        else:
            // the given file is read and all attributes are copied to self._
