Defining two integrated distinct HVAC for a SINGLE zone/space

Hello EnergyPlus users and developers,

I need to ask a question about modeling two different HVAC systems for a super-duper simple SINGLE zone/space. Let’s say one is [HP+Electrich SHW] and the other [VAV+Gasboiler SHW]. I am interested in having the first one ([HP+Electric SHW]) to be operable from 7:00 to 16:00 and the other system ([VAV+Gasboiler SHW]) from 16:00 to 7:00. In the end, I should have one integrated result for the zone operative temperature and all the loads.

I would appreciate it if you could kindly let me know how I can perform this simulation.

Thanks very much in advance.

Sincerely, Behnam
