Set ApHVAC system operation schedules. Indicate the occupied and unoccupied hours and the associated heating and cooling set points. The morning start-up and after-hours operation are in relation to the occupied hours. Select the appropriate control strategy for operation using setback temperatures during the unoccupied hours. These settings will apply to all ApacheHVAC systems for this project that use the default control (HVAC HP1, HP2, CP3, CP6, etc.) profiles referenced in the prototype system controllers.
Any number of additional HVAC schedules can be created to match any building system operation schedule or set point where zones may have different requirements. This is done by entering a “Prefix” refer in the dialogue & clicking the “generate alternative schedule & set points”. For example if a prefix refer of “0823” is entered & generate is clicked a copy of the default HVAC control profiles will be created in ApPro with prefix of “0823” at the start of all control profiles.
Alternative profiles can be selected for global assignment via the “schedule & set point” dropdown at the top of the schedule dialogue, the “Apply set point & plant profiles” tick box must be activated for assignment to happen once the OK is clicked in the main dialogue. If a model uses varying operation schedules these profiles must be assigned manually to ApHVAC systems in later workflows.
Advanced schedules can also be setup via the “Configure” tab in the main dialogue this feature allows users to setup more detailed system schedules.
