Access Cold Water Supply Temperature for WaterUse:Equipment in OpenStudio

I have setup a WaterUse:Equipment component in my OpenStudio model following this tutorial. However, I would like to edit the Cold Water Supply Temperature Schedule Name input to the WaterUse:Equipment.

I am familiar with how to do this in EnergyPlus as it is simply the input below the Hot Water Supply Temperature Schedule Name, can you help me set this input within OpenStudio?

I noticed the WaterHeater:Mixed component has a Cold Water Supply Temperature Schedule Name that provides input to the boiler but the WaterUse:Equipment is not doing the proper mixing because the supply temperature is set to the default 10C.

Thank you,

Justin

Edit 1 I noticed that the Cold Water Supply Temperature Schedule Name for the WaterHeater:Mixed component does not appear to have an effect on the energy consumption of the Water Heater when elevating hotter or colder supply water. Am I missing something?
