Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] multi-zone control strategy

How you set this up depends on the type of system you use.

If you are simply using a heating coil in an air loop, place the 
thermostat in Zone 2 and use a single zone heating set point manager to 
set the heating coil outlet node set point when the fan is before the 
heating coil. If the fan is after the heating coil, put the set point 
from the single zone heating set point manager at the outlet of the fan 
and use a mixed air set point manager to adjust the set point at the 
outlet of the fan to account for fan heat. The mixed air set point will 
be placed at the heating coil outlet node.

If you are using a unitary system or furnace, simple using a thermostat 
in Zone 2 will work.
