Seasonal Schedule - [source code]
Use this component to generate a seasonal schedule (aka. a schedule composed of different weekly schedules). Using the weekSched outputs of the other schedule generating components, you can combine these to create a yearly schedule that has different week schedules for different times of the year. -

...schedule
The name of the schedule that has been written to the memory of the GH document. Connect this to any shcedule input of a Honeybee component to assign the schedule.schedIDFText
The text needed to tell EnergyPlus how to run the schedule. If you are done creating/editing a shcedule with this component, you may want to make your GH document smaller by internalizing this IDF text and using the "Honeybee_Add To EnergyPlus Library" component to add the schedule to the memory the next time you open the GH file. Then you can delete this component.
