I wonder if "schedules" are required for analysis, and if the could be avoided?

If required what is it meant when schedule ask:
8-9 am: one hour occurrence between 8: A.M and 9: A.M. is it portion of the 
time that place is open and occupancy accrues as fraction of an hour, if so how 
could it be when place is open the entire hour.

Your user manual is not specific in defining what this term is.

some of the examples are using 0.2, 0.05 or 0.8  values and having difficulty 
to relate to it.

For Title 24 compliance analysis, all schedules are prescribed, and the user 
does not need to enter any schedules.  Schedule inputs are provided for 
possible future use.  

Schedule values are of various types.  For example, a thermostat schedule will 
include the temperature setpoint that is in use for that hour.  For an 
occupancy schedule, the value is the occupancy of the space during that hour, 
expressed as a fraction of the design occupancy.  If the design occupancy of 
the space is 20 persons, and the space is unoccupied from 8:00 to 8:30, and has 
5 people in from 8:30 to 9:00, then the average occupancy is 2.5 for that hour, 
and the schedule value would be 0.125 (2.5/20).
