[Equest-users] Elevator schedules

[Rongxin Yin]

Hi Andrew,
I just check the Benchmark models developed in EnergyPlus, there are some
examples for these educational buildings. I recommend that you get to check
the ASHRAE Standards 90.1-2007 or LEED series standard. Then benchmark
models is described as following:

! DOE Commercial Building Benchmark
! Secondary school, new construction
! ASHRAE Standards 90.1-2004 and 62-1999
! Description:  Two story, secondary school, 46 zones
!               Classrooms, auditorium, gymnasium, cafeteria, kitchen
!               Original model developed for the K-12 Advanced Energy Design
Guide

! Schedule Elevator
