Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Thermostat Deadband



Seems like you would want to use the "Heating Setpoint Schedule Name" 
and "Cooling Setpoint Schedule Name" input fields in the 
HVACTemplate:Thermostat object to define your heating and cooling 
setpoints throughout the year.

The HVACTemplate:Thermostat object will be translated into the required 
"native" EnergyPlus objects (ZoneControl:Thermostat) when using 
EP-Launch.  The "HVACTemplate" objects the you define remain in the 
resulting input data file but are commented out.
