Continuous Controller Schedules

 
 
Continuous Controller are schedules that define how a specific numeric value varies throughout the year. There are four sub-types:
 
Each sub-type will be displayed in its applicable section of the project. For example, schedules created under the Carbon Dioxide sub-type will be displayed as part of the system properties when defining demand control ventilation.
 
 
Carbon Dioxide Schedules
 
These schedules are displayed in the Configure Systems sub-section under the Outdoor Air Control tab. It defines the PPM setpoint for a system with demand control ventilation reset.
