How do manually adjust desired thermostat setting in idf editor?

Hello, I'm curious. I have my zone programs set as MidriseApartment for my model, however I want to manually adjust the specs for this type of zone program. I can't seem to find where that is possible within the idf editor. I'm assuming there's a preset thermostat temperature that governs the heating and cooling loads. I would like to give that desired thermostat temperature a range as opposed to a specific value if that's at all possible.

The underlying issue is that my heating and cooling loads for a simulated year are extremely high and I'm trying to find a way to drastically reduce them.

Thanks in advance!
