How to add dynamic occupancy 8670 hours into EnergyPlus idf text editor?
Hello,
I am trying to add custom occupancy file to the 5ZoneAutoDxVAV idf, where for each zone, different occupancy is shown at each hour. I created a CSV file for each zones but I am not sure how to add it to the idf. I tried the following:
Schedule:File,
SPACE1-1, !- Name for Small Zone 1 Occupancy
Any Number, !- Schedule Type Limits Name
C:\Users\SmallZone.csv, !- File Name
2, !- Column Number
0, !- Rows to Skip at Top
, !- Number of Hours of Data
, !- Column Separator (Using Tab)
; !- Interpolate to Timestep (No interpolation)
and then for
People,
SPACE5-1 People 1, !- Name
SPACE5-1, , !- Zone Name
OCCUPY-1, !- Occupancy Schedule
people, !- Calculation Method
20, !- Number of People
, !- People per Floor Area
, !- Floor Area per Person
0.3, !- Fraction Radiant
AutoCalculate, !- Sensible Heat Fraction
ActSchd; !- Activity Schedule
But I get severe errors such as these:
** Severe ** Line: 1651 Index: 17 - Field cannot be Autosize or Autocalculate
** Severe ** <root>[People][SPACE5-1 People 1][carbon_dioxide_generation_rate] - Value type "string" for input "ActSchd" not permitted by 'type' constraint.
** Severe ** <root>[People][SPACE5-1 People 1][number_of_people] - Value type "string" for input "people" not permitted by 'type' constraint.
** Severe ** <root>[People][SPACE5-1 People 1][number_of_people_calculation_method] - "OCCUPY-1" - Failed to match against any enum values.
** Fatal ** Errors occurred on processing input file. Preceding condition(s) cause termination.
...Summary of Errors that led to program termination:
..... Reference severe error count=4
..... Last severe error=<root>[People][SPACE5-1 People 1][number_of_people_calculation_method] - "OCCUPY-1" - Failed to match against any enum values.
Can someone help me understand what is happening here?
Thank you
