How to make uneven distribution of occupancy?

Hi guys,

how to make an uneven distribution of occupancy in EnergyPlus? for instance, having a room empty and others occupied? Is there a quick way instead of setting occupancy one by one for spaces?

Thx!

@Wolfgang Kaiser This seems very similar to your other post. Would it be OK to merge the two?

Create an occupancy schedule with 0 for several hours or put in People statements that say 0 for the number of occupants.

Check out the stochastic occupancy simulator from LBNL.
