Load Reset Control - EMS?

I have a central plant loading scheme which uses a Load Reset to control the supply water temperature. The control logic is thus,"...the chilled water temperature is reset upwards to maintain at least one control valve serving an AHU is open greater than 90% open."

I haven't found a single "SetpointManager:XXX" object in Energy Plus which has this ability. Is this correct? Does this lend itself to use of the Energy Management System object(s) to achieve this control? Is there another Group of Objects that I missed? If it is EMS, are there examples anyone can point to/reference? Thanks in advance.
