We are working on a Hospital Project outside USA and we are going though option 1 i.e. whole building energy simulation.
We do not have operational hours for the project except that it is 24/7 facility. LEED V4 recommends to use ASHRAE 90.1 UM schedules for Energy Modeling but we find AEDG 50% guide schedule more relevant for Hospitals. Does LEED have any issues of using AEDG profiles than UM for energy modeling?

You can use whatever schedules make sense for your project. The schedules should be appropriate to the building type and its expected operation. The baseline schedules should be identical to the proposed.
