Hi all. I want to use customday for days which have special events apart from holiday setting.
Group – Schedules: Input Output Reference — EnergyPlus 8.0 (bigladdersoftware.com)
However, I can not find the way to use it among honeybee componets.
Honeybee does not support it at all?
Thank you
Hi @atom ,
The legacy plugin was written at a time when holidays were not yet supported by the OpenStudio SDK. I think they should work in the “Honeybee_Run Simulation” component but not the Legacy OpenStudio component.
The new LBT plugin (version 1.3 and above) uses the later versions of OpenStudio and has full support for holidays. So I would recommend switching to that if you need to use holidays.
Hi @chris
Thank you for your comments.
I switched to LBT Ver.1.3 and I think I can use holidays.
In addition, I think it is useful if custom days are also supported.
・LBT 1.3
Weekdays( mon, tue, wed , thu and fri)
Weekends(sun and sat)
holidays
design day (summer and winter)
・energy plus
Weekdays( mon, tue, wed , thu and fri)
Weekends(sun and sat)
holidays
design day (summer and winter)
customday (1 and 2) ← Can I use this?
The schedule objects in OpenStudio don’t support custom days so I’m sorry that the answer is “no for now.” If you badly need them, you can always manually edit the IDF and run it with the HB Run IDF component. Or you could write an EnerygPlus measure that adds the custom days.
But I’m sorry that this is at a level of detail that’s beyond what we can natively support.
Thank you for your quik and polite answer.
I will use use LBT mainly.
