[EnergyPlus_Support] Heating/Setpoint Controller

["ntraughpee" <matthew.sverre.anderson@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Everybody, I have a question that likely (or at least hopefully!) has an easy answer and I am simply too foolish to know it.

So I have a building which I modeled as a VAV with no reheat, and no preheat coil. I want the coils to operate as needed and simply ignore any frost warnings. However, I currently have no schedule for either since there will be many times during the fall/spring where we might need to heat/cool during the same day or during the week. 

The problem I am currently having is that the heating/cooling coils are operating year long at the same time. I want the HC to operate when the building needs heating, the CC to operate when the building needs cooling (neither to operate at the same time). Am I thinking about this incorrectly? 

Also is there a way to implement a dead band above/below the set point where the system is "satisfied" to prevent the system from "slamming" on/off?
