Schedule types:
-
On/Off — Defines the Day schedule by
selecting On or Off states for each of the 24 hours of the day.
-
Percentage — Defines the Day schedule by
inputting percentages of the design temperature to be maintained during each of
the 24 hours of the day.
-
Value — Defines the Day schedule by
directly inputting the actual value to be passed to the energy simulation at
the appropriate timestep.
-
Temperature — Defines the Day schedule
by directly inputting temperatures to be maintained during each of the 24 hours
of the day.
-
Control — Defines the Day schedule by
selecting the type of controller used to maintain the climate during each of
the 24 hours of the day. The available control types are:
-
Uncontrolled – Defines the Day

- On/Off – A
drop-down list allows you to select between On and Off states for each of the
24 hours.
- Percentage –
Directly input schedule percentages. Values are restricted to zero through 100.
- Value –
Directly input timestep values to be passed to the energy simulation.
- Temperature –
