Returns

The EpBunch object added to the idf model.

Return type

EpBunch

property Category

Get or set the Category attribute.

property Comments

Get or set the object comments.

property DataSource

Get or set the datasource of the object.

property Name

Get or set the name of the schedule.

property Type

Get or set the schedule type limits object. Can be None.

combine(other, weights=None, quantity=None)

Combine two UmiSchedule objects together.

Parameters
  • other (UmiSchedule) – The other Schedule object to combine with.

  • weights (list, dict or string) – Attribute of self and other containing the weight factor. If a list is passed, it must have len = 2; the first element is applied to self and the second element is applied to other. If a dict is passed, the self.Name and other.Name are the keys. If a str is passed, the

  • quantity (list or dict or bool) – Scalar value that will be multiplied by self before the averaging occurs. This ensures that the resulting schedule returns the correct integrated value. If a dict is passed, keys are schedules Names and values are quantities.

Returns

the combined UmiSchedule object.

Return type

(UmiSchedule)

Raises

TypeError – if Quantity is not of type list, tuple, dict or a callable.

classmethod constant_schedule(value=1, Name='AlwaysOn', Type='Fraction', **kwargs)

Create an UmiSchedule with a constant value at each timestep.

Parameters
  • Type

  • Name

  • idf

  • **kwargs

develop()

Develop the UmiSchedule into a Year-Week-Day schedule structure.

extend(other, allow_duplicates)

Append other to self. Modify and return self.
