This sounds like a VAV system without terminal reheat. For this system type the main coils will be controlled based on a coil outlet air set point temperature. Several of the set point managers will work (e.g., SetpointManager:Scheduled, SetpointManager:OutdoorAirReset, SetpointManager:SingleZone:Reheat, etc.) and you may want to use a heating SPM for the heating coil and cooling SPM for the cooling coil. I haven't used the DualSetPoint SPM but will suggest reporting the System Node Setpoint Temperature wherever this SPM is used to make sure the coils control to the correct set point (see below). Regarding the zones, as the zones meet the zone thermostat set point temperature the VAV box damper should close. Depending on the minimum stop setting in the terminal box, the damper may close all the way or only close to some minimum setting. If the damper remains open then the zone temperature will exceed the zone thermostat temperature set point. Regarding the main coils, if there is air flow through the coils (i.e., any dampers are open) then the coils will try to meet the coil outlet temperature set point.
