Yes you can do that. But what you need to remember is that the HVACTemplate objects create many other necessary objects required for the simulation. Examples are the thermostat, zone equipment connections, schedules, etc. So the best way to do this is to run the HVACTemplate file and then work from the expanded file (*.expidf) to add your other ZoneHVAC equipment objects. You will need to modify some of the objects that HVACTemplate creates in order to add in your ZoneHVAC equipment objects.

Hi!
First of all, I want to thank for all your help. Without your help I couldn't have worked with E+ so far.
Still I have some questions about HVAC Systems.Can I use an object of HVAC Template for cooling and an object of ZoneHVAC for heating within the same Zones of an IDF file? If not, I must use an object from ZoneHVAC instead of HVAC Template, isn't it?
Thanks in advance!
