2018-08-31 13:43:22 -0500 marked best answer natural gas schedule design help?

I want to perform a energy simulation, but need help with how to design the natural gas schedule? Which object controls the natural gas consumption related object?

I have experimental data related to natural gas consumption, how can I feed it into the energyplus file?

2018-08-26 07:57:45 -0500 marked best answer EnergyPlus Runperiod setup

I have csv data file which has data from 3/3/2016 to 3/3/2017. When I set this in Run Period as start month 3 and start day 3 and end month 3 and end date 3, energyplus is unable to perform on whole year simulation. The standard procedure is to use 1/1 as start month and date and 12/31 and end month and date. Can someone suggest a way to solve my issue?

How to design an occupancy schedule based on area/person or person/area method? What do values of 0.9 or 0.05 or 0.2 mean? How to calculate maximum number occupants in the building based on this criteria of schedule?

And if we decide use directly input the ocuupant number in the building? Then, how to simulate situation were occupants are not present in the building, (for example at night)?

2018-02-16 15:04:30 -0500 marked best answer How to use "Schedule: File" object in EnergyPlus?

I am trying to use the "Schedule: File" object in energyplus. But, when I add path to locate the .csv file after running the simulation It shows me a severe error. The error is that EnergyPlus cannot locate the file.

Can someone guide me to how to provide the path of the .csv file in "Schedule: File" object?
