What is the default strategy in EnergyPlus to maintain the temperature in 2 Zone Data Center?

Hi;

I am new to EnergyPlus. I was reading the 2 Zone Data Center IDF file provided by the Energy Plus. The name of the idf file is 2ZoneDataCenterHVAC_wEconomizer.idf. One can find this IDF file with the EnergyPlus installed. I was trying to find the strategy that EnergyPlus used to maintain the temperature inside the data center. Concretely, given the outside temperature and zone temperatures, how EnergyPlus change the setpoint temperatures and valve rate to maintain the zone temperature close to the target temperature.

Thank you,

Abhishek
