[EnergyPlus_Support] HVAC Template and zone control

["amyquartette" <amyquartette@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all!

I would like to use the zone control:thermostat:thermal comfort as a condition to have a look at the energy consumption. I have used HVAC Template for my HVAC system. Somehow I could not define the zone control: thermostat: thermal comfort, so I have let the idf file with a HVAC Template: thermostat run once, and then I can edit the expidf file and set the zone control:thermostat:thermal comfort in the expidf file.

my questions are:
1. is it right to edit the parameter in the expidf?
2. because of the first HVAC Template: thermostat, does the zone sizing depend on the heating and cooling setpoint temperature? If so, have the heating and cooling setpoint temperatures also impact on the energy consumption? 

Thanks in advance!
Amy
