When to use summer and winter design day profiles in the schedule definition of openstudio?

I am defining some new schedule sets for my small hotel model in Nepal. My particular concern is how to represent the occupancy rate in the hotel that changes from season to season.
From the tutorials I learned how to define Run Period Profiles for different period. But I also saw the option of defining Summer and Winter Design Day profiles and could not find any information about this option. For what purpose does this option exist? What would be the appropriate approach to represent ocupancy rate in hotel: Summer/Winter Design Day Profiles or Run period profiles?
