Because your objective is to find the temperature change when people walks into the room, you want to make a many changes as possible during the day to see the result with different outdoor temperature in the 24 hour period.
The office hours, etc. does not apply, if you are not using HVAC. This is only for those who wanted to issue a LEED certificate.
Your aim is to get what you want to measure quickly and reliable. After this simulation you can ask your professor what he really wanted to know. You can compare the result with what I suggested earlier using the air volume formula.
The wattage used per person is in the activity schedule you set, and you can change that as well for lazy and active people.

9am to 5pm is the time most commercial buildings would have its maximum occupancy. So 1 should be ok. For residential buiidings, it may be 0.

My times are working now but the problem is im not sure what variables to input in my field from 9 am to 5 pm. What is a suitable fraction for consistent day throughout with nobody leaving from 9 am to 5 pm. Im estimating at the moment but after 5 pm there is a massive drop so it seems a bit fruity.
