[TRNSYS-users] Printing

[David Bradley]

Abdullahi,
   There are many different ways that you could specify which days 
are weekdays and which hours are working hours so there is not one 
single way that you can automatically output the results for those 
hours. I rarely use the SCHEDULES in Type56 but specify the 
occupancy, lighting gains, equipment gains, etc. as inputs to Type56. 
Consequently, I usually have a component that sets the buildings 
occupancy profile outside of Type56. The component outputs a 1 if the 
building is occupied and a 0 if the building is not occupied. I then 
write an equation like the following:

OccupiedResult = Occupied*Result + (1-Occupied)*9999999.

where
Occupied is the signal (1 if the building is occupied, 0 if it isn't)
Result is the output that I am interested in
OccupiedResult is equal to Result when the building is occupied and 
is equal to 9999999 (or some other arbitrary number) when it is not.

Once you print OccupiedResult to a post processor, it is easy to sort 
out the hours when the building is not occupied.

Cheers,
  David
