[EnergyPlus_Support] EnergyPlus schedules

["tonybaxterhevacomp" <tony@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a query on Schedules for use with annual energy calculations, 
coupled with Design Day calculations.

If I have say 100 zones and they all have the same annual schedule 
for say Heat gain, then I can define a single schedule and reference 
this schedule for all zones.  If however I with to use different 
schedule data for the design summer or winter day for room, this 
design day data must be defined as say a design day schedule and 
referenced as the SummerDesignDay or WinterDesignDay in a 
WEEKSCHEDULE and then in a year SCHEDULE.

If I have slightly different design day schedules for each room, but 
the same annual schedules, it seems that I must define different 
annual and weekly schedules for each room, in order to get the 
different design day schedules defined.  

Could anyone confirm that this is the case, or is there some other 
means of tagging rooms with just design day schedule data and using 
common annual schedules for the annual calc.

Many thanks

Tony Baxter
