HVACTemplate:Zone:IdealLoadsAirSystem and ZoneHVAC:IdealLoadsAirSystem, what's the difference?

I need to know the loads that my building is experiencing and I was given a model with an actual HVAC system. The thing is that I need to refurbish the envelope, so I decided to remove the actual HVAC system to put one with ideal loads, so that I would know what new loads I am gonna have with a new envelope. I tried both of them and just the HVACTemplate is working, although I changed all the required objects with the ZoneHVAC with basis on the EnergyPlus example files.

Thanks in advance for your help.
