<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Hi Ahmed,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">I would program this inside the TRNSYS Studio rather than in TRNBuild as its slightly more complicated.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Create three new Type 14 Forcing Functions in Studio, and program the occupancy lightly hourly schedule for each one, for summer/winter/spring. Use Type 14d specifically for
lighting. The instantaneous output for each of these could be called LIGHTING_SUMMER, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Then create three more general Type 14h Forcing Functions, each one being equal to 1 during the required period, whether that is summer/winter/spring. The time values should
go from 0 to 8760. The instantaneous output for each of these could be called SUMMER_TIME, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Then combine these together in one equation such as: LIGHTING_SCHEDULE = LIGHTING_SUMMER*SUMMER_TIME + LIGHTING_SPRING*WINTER_TIME + LIGHTING_SPRING*SPRING_TIME.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Then feed this into your Type56 building by creating a new input in TRNBuild, update building variable list, and connect the LIGHTING_SCHEDULE into the building.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">A simple way to do this is with just two forcing functions – one for the lighting schedule, and one for the seasonal profile, which multiplies the lighting schedule up or down
by a factor, depending on the annual season. But you would need to use the first method using 6 forcing functions if you required unique schedules for each season.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
