I am trying to write a measure that allows me to set the HVAC availability schedule for an air loop. Is there any easy way to clear all of the existing rules for a schedule and then assign new ones? From the documentation it doesn't appear that there is a method in the ScheduleRuleSet class to clear rules or to assign new schedule rules. Has anyone figured out a good way to accomplish these two tasks?

Any insights are very appreciated

If you don't want to preserve any of the original data, it might be easiest to just create a new schedule and assign that to your HVAC system.

I would like to preserve the original Design Day schedules, but could copy those original design days and then easily set them in the new schedule rulesets using the setWinterDesignDaySchedule and setSummerDesignDaySchedule methods. However, in this new workflow, what method can I use to assign a new ScheduleRule that I create to a ScheduleRuleset? I don't see a method for this in the ScheduleRuleset documentation

When you create a ScheduleRule you have to pass a ScheduleRuleset in the constructor, this associates the rule with the ruleset.
