Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Changing the capacity of an electric baseboard during the day



I would use 3 baseboards (800W, 1000W, 1500W)  in the zone and use the 
availability schedule for each baseboard to "schedule" the one you want 
at specific times.

For example:
ZoneHVAC:Baseboard:Convective:Electric,
  Baseboard1,  !- Name
  BBAvailabilitySchedule2,  !- Availability Schedule Name
  1000,  !- Nominal Capacity (W)

Schedule:Compact,
    BBAvailabilitySchedule2,  !- Name
    AnyNumber,             !- Schedule Type Limits Name
    Through: 12/31,          !- Field 1
    FOR: AllDays,            !- Field 2
    UNTIL: 8:00, 1,        !- Field 4
    UNTIL:12:00, 0,      !- Field 6
    UNTIL:14:00, 1,     !- Field 8
   UNTIL: 24:00, 0;      !- Field 10
