The zone fan coil units operate to meet the zone load, not a set point temperature. The fan coil will ignore a node set point temperature at the fan coil's coil outlet nodes. You would somehow have to adjust the zone load. There are EMS actuators that can override the zone thermostat (or humidistat) temperature. I am not sure if there is one for the actual zone load.

The zone fan coil units operate to meet the zone load, not a set point temperature. The fan coil will ignore a node set point temperature at the fan coil's coil outlet nodes. You would somehow have to adjust the zone load. If the air mass flow rate is adjusted, the fan coil will try to compensate by providing a lower outlet temperature in cooling mode (or higher in heating mode) to meet the zone load.
