Question-and-Answer Resource for the Building Energy Modeling Community
 | 1 | initial version |
There are three primary sources for energy modeling schedules I am aware of: 1. The ASHRAE 90.1 User's Manual; 2. NREL/TP-5500-46861; and, 3. The COMNET Manual. If you are already familiar with the ASHRAE schedules you should review the the NREL Technical Report publication NREL/TP-5500-46861 "US Department of Energy Commercial Reference Building Models of the National Stock." Their schedules can be found in Appendix B of that publication. You can perform a Google search of the publication number above and go right to the document. Be sure to read the documentation in the report about the schedules. The reports authors started with the 1989 ASHRAE 90.1 User's Manual Schedules and modified them based on their knowledge and experience. The COMNET Modeling Guidelines & Procedures Manual (MGP) can be downloaded form the following link: http://comnet.org/mgp-manual. You will find the schedules in Appendix C in that publication. I hope this helps.

These are a great starting point and can always modified as needed for any specific building type or user specific needs. I hope this helps.
