Differing supply temperature is one good reason to separate zones. So I would suggest only combining those zones that have the same supply air temperature. The reason is that the coil model behavior will depend on leaving temperature.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Zone issue
Hello, all.
There are 80+ FCU installed in a building and the cooling load, supply air temperature & air flow rate of each fcu are different.
Then is it possible to combine the zones which have the same load and schedule into one?
As I know, the cooling load and air flow rate can be added up after merging the zone.
But how to set the supply air temperature?
Thanks.
Jin
