Automatic simulating EnergyPlus with different occupancy schedule

Dear all,

my question here is about automatic simulating EnergyPlus with different occupancy schedule.

I am looking at a community level of dwellings, I need many (over 100 dwellings) energy performances of the dwellings which are the outputs of the EnergyPlus with different occupancy schedules. The occupancy schedules are generated from my database, and according to different occupancy schedules, there will be corresponding heating schedules which will give different heat demand.

In other words, I need to achieve that give a certain occupancy schedule and heating schedule, run EnergyPlus once and store the results in database, and then give another occupancy schedule and heating schedule, and then run EnergyPlus again and store the results in database. However, I couldnt do it manually, change the schedules one by one by myself, because I am looking at a community level which at least has hundreds of dwellings.

I am wondering if there any software tool could achieve my purpose, otherwise, is it possible to write my own codes to achieve my purpose.

Please give my some advise! Really appreciate your help.
