They are one of the defining differences between an energy model and a design simulation. The Cooling Only schedule will make it so that whatever it is applied to will be 100% on 100% of the time, except during the heating design calculation. So if it is applied to lighting, then all of your lights will be on all of the time, day and night. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>So, it will be important for you to learn and understand how schedules are done in TRACE. To see the details of any schedule, go to the library/template editors. You can get to it under Actions—Edit Library/Templates. Once there, click on the clock. The schedule type is ‘Utilization’. You can find the Cooling Only schedule there, along with many others. This is also where you can create your own schedules, which is often necessary.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Chances are good that using the ‘Cooling Only’ schedule throughout your model will raise a red flag for the reviewer, and will give very distorted results.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Good luck, and I hope this helps!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Christian<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> trace-users-bounces@lists.onebuilding.org [mailto:trace-users-bounces@lists.onebuilding.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Ben<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, September 16, 2013 11:16 AM<br><b>To:</b> trace-users@lists.onebuilding.org<br><b>Subject:</b> [Trace-users] Cooling Only (Design) Schedules and LEED Energy Modeling<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I am working on an energy model for a LEED project using Trace, it’s my first one, and I was going through the error comments Trace generates and I saw a warning about using the Cooling Only (Design) schedule.
