Can anyone suggest a good reference for learning about OpenStudio Schedule objects? I find the SDK documentation confusing and the E+ input/output guide doesn't include objects exclusive to openstudio.
I want to use the OS_SDK python bindings to write a script to modify some models, but I think I'm missing a couple fundamental concepts. For example:
- What are the differences (and connections) between OS:Schedule:Ruleset, OS:Schedule:Rule, OS:DefaultScheduleSet objects?
- How does (should) thehoursofOperationSchedule (found in the DefaultScheduleSet) get used? Can it affect other schedules?
- Do OS:Schedule:Rule objects always connect to a OS:Schedule:Day Day Schedule? Can (should) I use other schedule types? (e.g. ScheduleCompact, ScheduleConstant, etc)
- Are there other considerations I should think about when when I set up schedules when I use EMS objects to model BAS controls measures?
