[Equest-users] User Expressions in Schedules eQuest

[Todd Lagus]

Is there a way to modify day schedules using global parameters.  For example, say I want to compare the difference between having a setback start at 6 pm instead of 10 pm.  I know how to create two different schedules and change them in the parametric run to get the difference.

However, let's say I want to use a single schedule to save time if I want to run many different parametric runs.  In pseudo code, I would say something like-


Global parameter - Setback Hour (6 pm or 10 pm)

If time < "Setback Hour", then cooling setpoint is 72, else cooling setpoint is 80

There would be a similar code to bring the setpoint back to occupied.

Is it at all possible to create a User expression in the schedules that would to this?  I could not find a keyword that corresponds to a time of day, so I think this all may be in vain.

Thanks,

Todd
