How to simulate a power outage by overriding Equipment and lighting schedules using actuators.

Hi,

I am trying to simulate a power outage for a single day for my building, to check how much the temperatures rise in the space after the outage. I have turned off the HVAC by modifying the schedule which was previously "On 24/7". I was wondering how I could implement EMS actuators for the lighting and appliances and override the existing schedule for a single day. Has anyone done something similar previously or are there any example files for the schedule actuators that I could refer to?
