Openstudio Set a temperature and have heating/cooling run freely

Hello all,

I was wondering if it's possible to select a certain temperature (lets says 23 C) for a thermal zone/area in your construction (In my case a house). I essentially want it to be that temperature but I want to let the heating and cooling run freely.

Long story short, I want to see the Watts that are produced from the heating and cooling units but not have a specific set point for cooling or heating but rather have a specific temperature I want to be achieved based on the loads/outdoor temperature.

If this isn't possible, is it possible to somehow have set Watt consumption for heating and cooling units? So can I control the amount of power being provided to the heating and cooling unit as I wish? (I want to control the unit with my specific power indication)

Thank you
