Occupancy Schedules

These schedules provide information about occupancy assumptions for different building types used during conceptual energy analysis. These assumptions are based on ASHRAE standards. The other operating schedules for each building type (such as lighting and HVAC) are based on the occupancy schedules for that building type.

For each occupancy schedule, the following tables provide hourly values for a 24-hour period, starting at midnight (0 to 24 on the x-axis). These values (0 to 1 on the y-axis) are fractional multipliers.

For example, if an occupancy density is 100 people in a building, then...

• a schedule value of 1 means that 100 people are assumed to be in the building during that hour.
• a schedule value of 0 means that no people are assumed to be in the building during that hour.
• a value of 0.1 means that 100 * 0.1 = 10 people are assumed to be in the building during that hour.
