How to put schedule for switching on SPLIT HVAC in Openstudio?

In my model there are 2 thermal zone swith an unitary SPLIT HVAC System each that are operated independently. In reality, these Split AC are operated manually when the building is occupied, e.g. for example in a residential building when people come home after work they switch on AC.

Now I am not sure which class to address while creating the schedule? For example, I could put the schedule for the cooling set point very high when the building is not occupied. But I was wondering if there is a cleaner solution, e.g. operational schedule of HVAC system or I saw something like Availability Manager.
