Hypothesis and equations
This model outputs whether the building is currently occupied, and how long it will take until the next time when the building will be occupied or non-occupied. The latter may be used, for example, to start a ventilation system half an hour before occupancy starts in order to ventilate the room.
The occupancy is defined by a time schedule of the form
occupancy = 3600*{7, 12, 14, 19}
This indicates that the occupancy is from 7:00 until 12:00 and from 14:00 to 19:00. This will be repeated periodically. The parameters startTime and endTime define the periodicity.
