[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: How to set up a Coil:Heating:Water object in a CAV system to controls?
I feel the same way. Most of hot water coils are controlled to maintain the supply air temperature set point, but in some cases, especially for single zone CAV unit, the hot water valve could be controlled directly to maintain zone temperature set point. Just curious why gas furnace can be set up that way, but not for the water coils.

Somehow, it doesn't work as I expected, the zone temperature in winter time can't be maintained. Any help and comments are appreciated. Thanks in advance.
