I am trying to model an multizone HVAC system that is constant flow with no reheat. I was looking at this post which is similar but has reheat and uses a scheduled setpoint. A scheduled setpoint won't work for my system since it needs to respond to zone conditions. I tried using Setpoint Manager Multi Zone Cooling Average but I am not sure how to place the Setpoint Manager Multi Zone Heating Average on the same node.

I think I am not using these setpoints correctly. I was looking at this reference and I'm not sure which node I am supposed to place these setpoints on. Are the correct nodes the ones that connect to the heating or cooling coil?

I have the same issue with a model I've been working on, and I think I've tried every setpoint manager available. I am sort of able to get by using the SetpointManager:SingleZone:Reheat and setting the control zone as the thermal zone with the highest heating/cooling load. Of course, this becomes a problem when the system's peak heating and cooling loads are in different zones, so I often have to choose between a bunch of unmet heating hours in one zone or unmet cooling hours in another. Would love to know a better solution.
