SetpointManager:MultiZone:Heating:Average

Is the usage of the SetpointManager:MultiZone:Cooling:Average and SetpointManager:MultiZone:Heating:Average discouraged.

I dont see a single example file using these setpointmanagers. I see that ExampleFiles-ObjectsLink.html points to a DualDuctConstVolDamperMultizoneAverageSetPointManager.idf file as using it. But it does not appear to be included in the EnergyPlus-25-2-0/ExampleFiles folder.

Also looking for some clarification on its usage. If I have a constant volume system with a chilled water and Hot water coil, would I include SetpointManager:MultiZone:Heating:Average after the heating coil node and SetpointManager:MultiZone:Cooling:Average right after the cooling coil node to get both heating and cooling control. I created a idf file with these SetpointManagers and I get very high heating unmet hours even though the cooling appears to work fine.
