This can also be text for the name of a ProgramType within the library such as that output from the "HB Search Program Types" component. If None, a Plenum program type will be used as the base with no loads, setpoints, or ventilation requirements assigned.

• people

  A People object to describe the occupancy of the program. If None, no occupancy will be assumed for the program. (Default: None).
