Temperature setpoints in the IDF file
I want to modify an IDF model based on this description: ""
As for the occupancy schedules, the buildings are considered occupied during weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and on Sundays/holidays the buildings are considered unoccupied. Building envelope, roof, wall and window u-values vary among different locations. The baseline HVAC operation setpoint conditions are non-variable in all locations with the cooling setpoint being 24 °C for the occupied, and 26.7 °C for the unoccupied hours, and the heating setpoint 21 °C and 15.6 °C for the occupied and unoccupied hours, respectively.
However, I am not specialist in an engineering field. Therefore, I do not know where I should put these temperatures. In the Schedule:Compact class, the heating and cooling temperature setpoints for occupied and unoccupied hours should be change during the optimization process. So, I think, I cannot put them in the Schedule:Compact class. Because, according to the description, these tempraturs are non-variable
in the IDF file I did this:
Schedule:Compact,
CLG-SCHED, !- Name
TEMPERATURE, !- Schedule Type Limits Name
Through: 12/31, !- Field 1
For: Weekdays, !- Field 2
Until: 6:00,24.00, !- Field 3
Until: 22:00,24.00, !- Field 5
Until: 24:00,24.00, !- Field 7
For: Saturday Holidays, !- Field 9
Until: 9:00,26.70, !- Field 10
Until: 17:00,26.70, !- Field 12
Until: 24:00,26.70; !- Field 14
Schedule:Compact,
HTG-SCHED, !- Name
TEMPERATURE, !- Schedule Type Limits Name
Through: 12/31, !- Field 1
For: Weekdays, !- Field 2
Until: 6:00,21.00, !- Field 3
Until: 22:00,21.00, !- Field 5
Until: 24:00,21.00, !- Field 7
For: Saturday Holidays, !- Field 9
Until: 9:00,15.60, !- Field 10
Until: 17:00,15.60, !- Field 12
Until: 24:00,15.60; !- Field 14
I am not sure if it is correct or not
What does "The baseline HVAC operation setpoint conditions" mean?
In the IDF file, does the field number (Field x) refers to something, why Field 4 is not there?
