2021-03-23 17:19:16 -0500 marked best answer What is the Relations between Occupancy and Activity schedules

Could not find any documentary on the relations between Occupancy and Activity schedules. If there is any please direct me to the documents. I Find out the hard way that occupancy schedule must be a fractional schedule and I assume for load calculation OS uses the product of the zone multiplier, occupancy and activity schedules. In that case activity schedule should hold the max human load for different times? Is that correct?
