Designing Weekly Templates
Now that we have our daily templates defined, we can define our weekly templates. For our example, we will need two weekly templates: one for a typical winter week and one for a typical summer week. For weekly templates, you must indicate the start day of the week.
We do not need a weekly template for the curtailment option.

Finally, we need to decide if we want to create a Calendar template for our example. The decision of whether or not to create a calendar template will be based on a few factors:
- How many different seasons exist in the TOU map, where each season has different weekly templates?
- How do your holidays behave?
First, let's consider holiday behavior.
