[Equest-users] Editing External lighting Schedule

[Matutinovic, Luka]

I had limited success in editing the Wizard schedules by adjusting the max and min thresholds on the vertical axis and the start and end hours along the top axis.  My understanding is that eQuest generates those schedules based on the building type definition at the beginning of the shell wizard.  I had many headaches trying to edit the schedule after I realized I selected the wrong building type, especially when dealing with multiple shells. I inevitably end up using John's approach once in the detailed mode.

When people are creating models for LEED, do you use the schedules found in the back of the 90.1 User's Manual, or do you create your own schedules?  How has the USGBC reviewed this issue since according to App G, schedule creation is up to the designer and the "rating authority"?  It would seem to me that the USGBC wouldn't care as long as you use schedules that are reasonable for the building type and anticipated operation, and that the reference building uses the same ones (unless daylight controls or demand controlled ventilation is being dealt with through schedules and not simulation software directly). 

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Luka Matutinovic

Nate:

The only way I know to edit such schedules is to change the mode to Detailed Edit, then make the schedule changes.

If you try to go back to the Wizard mode, those changes will be deleted.
