Dear McDowell

thanks for your kindly reply, really i appreciate.
but what if I have different occupancy and lightining schedule for summer,
winter and spring for each room such as
1- Dining room: occupancy schedule for summer, occupancy schedule for
winter, occupancy schedule for spring, lighting schedule for summer,
lighting schedule for winter and lighting schedule for spring
2- Bed Room:occupancy schedule for summer, occupancy schedule for winter,
occupancy schedule for spring, lighting schedule for summer, lighting
schedule for winter and lighting schedule for spring
3-Living Room:occupancy schedule for summer, occupancy schedule for winter,
occupancy schedule for spring, lighting schedule for summer, lighting
schedule for winter and lighting schedule for spring

at this case i need 6 forcing function for each Room, or there is another
solution
