| Overview
Special Schedule is a schedule which allows a Facility manager to introduce a schedule which is outside of the actual set of building and zone schedules. For example, a Facility manager would want to schedule the building on a Saturday for a small duration of time for which he would want the building HVAC equipment to run. A schedule like this on a Saturday which is outside of the actual building schedule has been made possible with the introduction of Special Schedule.
Special schedule is a schedule that once added will bypass building, zone, named schedule or any vacation for that zone for that time duration, acting as a type of a master schedule. This is quite similar to a vacation which can override any schedule, but in a reversible way.
Special schedule can be added for Building or zones via CCU, portal or App and will cascade to the other parts of the system.
