I am looking for insight on how to make a working version of the old power outage measure that was originally built for resstock but to run on a single .osm file that would simulate a power outage with the following inputs:
- outage day start
- outage time start
- outage duration
during this timeframe, all-electric equipment, lighting, and HVAC would be off but then it would come back on after the outage.
I found the "Reduce Night Time Electric Equipment Loads" and "Reduce Night Time Lighting Loads". I think I can modify these to accommodate the outage dates as inputs. Is this a good plan?
However, for the HVAC I am at a loss.
Do I just maximize/minimize the setpoint so the HVAC equipment just doesn't turn on?
Any help in the right direction is appreciated.
