In addition to above, availability managers only override fan availability schedule internally in EnergyPlus. If same fan schedule is used elsewhere in the idf such as in controller or as any HVAC schedule, or elsewhere, availability manager won't have any impact there. In controller or other objects, fan schedule values will still be same as specified in the idf (can be verified by looking Maximum Fraction of Outdoor Air Schedule Name schedule values in eplusout.csv). One approach could be to use EMS (perhaps with AirLoopHVAC Availability Status) to modify HVAC Operation Schedule. This may have timestep delay issues though.
