Simple method:

Schedule to monthly averages:

One average "day" per month

The following exterior lighting schedule is for the Salem, Oregon area -
exterior lighting via photocell with no timeclock to shut the lights off or
prevent the lights from turning on during holidays or weekends, IOW it's a
sunset to sunrise schedule.  It's already in the proper form to insert into
an .inp file, and you can modify as you see fit.  For holidays and weekends
you could simply create an "off" day schedule and revise the week schedules.

Subject: [Equest-users] Creating a exterior parking lot lighting schedule

 

Is it possible to create an exterior parking lot lighting schedule that
turns on the parking lot lighting at dusk and turns off the lights at a
given time?

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.
