RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] schedules

There are also a couple of "house" examples that
may illustrate.

We use Schedule:Compact for most of the example files because it presents
the full set of schedules in one, easy to read, object.

Schedule:Compact is just a short-hand way of doing schedules.  Yes, you'll need to schedule people, loads, lights, etc. for a home. See the Benchmark building for midrise apartments as an example.

Hi, I apologize for another rudimentary question. If I want to model residential homes, do I need to create schedules or are they just for larger, more complex buildings? Not that homes aren't complex. They are. I looked at a few examples of the schedules in the files that accompany E+ and they had only filled out the Schedule:Compact object.

Thanks,
Patricia
