Plant equipment control in Openstudio 1.9

Hello UA! I'm curious how people are controlling plant equipment in OS v1.9, scheduling to be exact. Please see the basic HW loop below; I'm wondering how to turn the boiler OFF in the summer and then back ON in the winter. I'd also appreciate some advice on operational ordering of equipment (for example, assume that there are two boilers in the loop). How would you control which boiler meets the HW heating load first in OS? Thanks, -N

Seems like editing PlantEquipmentOperationScheme is the way to go, but I'm interested in staying in the OS environment if possible.
