how to assign multiple loads and schedules to a single zone?

For example, in a kitchen there are different equipment and each of them may have its own schedule.

So, may I ask how to assign multiple zone loads and schedules to one zone, especially linking the loads of an equipment to its operation schedule?

Thanks!

Hi Grasshope, I'm not sure what would be the best approach here. Can't you add them up and apply it all together? I should do a research for best practice to do similar stuff in EnergyPlus.

I am not sure, but would it be wrong if you further sub-divide the space (considering its an interior space, there won't be issues like daylight zones etc.) into multiple 'virtual' zones? and then apply the different specific load and operation schedule to one each of these smaller zones?

In general breaking up a zone is not a good approach.

Grasshope, did you find the answer to this question?
