HVACTemplate objects are designed to make it simple to put in HVAC systems. The tradeoff is that you have access to less inputs and therefore less control of how the system is configured and operates.
The HVACTemplate objects actually get "expanded" into a full set of normal IDF objects by a program called ExpandObjects right before the simulation happens. After you run the simulation that includes the HVACTemplates, you should be able to find the "expanded" IDF where the 'HVACTemplate' objects have been replaced with ZoneHVAC objects in the run directory.
