# Update Annual Fuel Use Native Units

## Overview

This proposal is to add `Operational` as an enum choice for `auc:ScheduleCategory`

## Justification

211 6.2.1.1.e specifies
> Schedules of occupant density, lighting, process and plug loads, and equipment use shall be provided for typical days

There is no appropriate `auc:ScheduleCategory` for process and plug loads as well as equipment use. This new category would be intended to cover those cases.

This covers my thoughts on the mapping from the excel doc:

So, that said:

  1. I don't think we need this addition
  2. To cover 6.2.1.1.e, I think we need to have schedule categories for:
    • 'Occupied', 'Lighting', 'Miscellaneous equipment', and 'HVAC equipment'. 'Heating equipment' and 'Cooling equipment' are both subcategories of 'HVAC equipment', but let's just be generic and call it 'HVAC equipment'. The other potentially big one to consider from an end use consumption perspective would be 'Cooking equipment' as that can be significant in dining / restaurants, but I don't think we need it for now.

@nllong thoughts?
