You may have two approaches;

1) You can make a typical air-loop with no heating and cooling coils, or

2) Air loop with heating and cooling coils but setting their availability to zero, meaning coils wont work at all even though they are present in the .idf or .osm file.

I think you can also select a temperature set-point high enough for cooling that it does not trigger HVAC system. you can apply same idea for heating season.

Hope this will help.
