<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I received 12 responses to my posting yesterday on
the availability of ASHRAE 90.1 schedules. Since almost all of them were sent
directly to me, I want to summarize for the other readers of BLDG-SIM what I
learned:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. To my surprise, I learned that post-1999
versions of ASHRAE 90.1 no longer require the use of default schedules
for internal conditions, with the only caveat that the same schedules for
lights, internal gains, occupancy, etc., are used consistently in the
simulations for the reference and the designed building. This suits me
fine, since I have already defined schedules for the demonstration building that
are probably more representative of typical office conditions in China
than those in the 1999 and previous versions of ASHRAE 90.1</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. For those still interested in the old,
i.e., 1989, ASHRAE 90.1 default schedules, these are
available from several sources : (1) in EnergyPlus format in the data
sets released with the EnergyPlus program, (2) in VisualDOE (don't know how
extractable), (3) in COMCheck (please contact LIU, Bing at PNNL for
details <A
