question about Daysim occupancy generator component

Hi Dear all,

I have a question about creating occupancy file using occupancy generator component. The case I am working on is a school dinning hall, thus the occupied hours are three separate hours per day, at 10 12 and 15, also summer and winter holidays should be considered. To set up this occupancy file, the component was plugged in shown in the screenshot. However, the generated csv file doesn't give me what I expected, occupancy written as 0 in days from January to June.

Could someone tell me a way to solve it?

I could generate two csv files by plugging in only one analysis period each time and manually sew them in excel, but I am sure there is better than that.

Thank you!

Xue

Hi Xueting,

Try the other component for occupancy generator. You can generate a list of numbers for 8760 hours of the year.

If you haven't done it before you can use duplicateData component to duplicate a daily schedule for the year and then use replace item to replace days for winter/summer break with 0. You may also find Ladybug DOY HOY component useful to calculate the index for winter/summer break.
