In EnergyPlus, you can adjust thermostat set points with standard schedule objects. If you want to alter parameters of HVAC and lighting systems that are normally set once and held constant, you can use the group of Energy Management System objects in EnergyPlus. These objects can be used to monitor and change parameters at sub-hourly timesteps. You can search for the tag ems on Unmet Hours and you should be able to find lots of questions for specific applications of these objects.
