Creating time-variant setpoint temperatures
Hi all Most of the time we use single static setpoint and setback values to control space temperatures, but I want a more dynamic and time-variant profile to define zone target temperatures to emulate real world conditions and calculate corresponding loads. Does anybody know the best way to set up a temperature schedule for this purpose? I have looked at EnergyPlus documentation but couldn't find any info. Thanks
Do you mean dynamic like a more complex schedule, or do you mean something like demand response where setpoints may change when building demand is very high?
Hi David A more complex schedule. So instead of warming the space to a fixed 18℃ in winter, I want to create an hourly schedule where the target temperature is a bit like this: until 07:00, 13.5℃ until 08:00, 16℃ until 09:00, 20℃ until 10:00, 20.5℃ …. Until 24:00, 25℃ I don’t know how to create a schedule, and assign it to the simulation! Could you point me in the right direction? Many thanks...
