Using real data about electricity consumption

Hello! I am trying to make an energy model for retrofit of existing building. I have measured electricity consumption and I would like to know if I could import somehow these data in OpenStudio model instead of equipment and lighting schedules?

Thank you

If you have the data submetered by zone and end use (at least splitting out lighting and electricity), or if you intend to model as a single zone (again assuming you have lighting and other electricity separately), then yes. You can use the data you have, converted into in CSV format if necessary, as a Schedule:File object.

I'll admit I'm not 100% sure if this is a default option in OpenStudio so it may need a measure writing to include the Schedule:File.

Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately I have only total electricity consumption.
