Control of AHU with one heating coil for multiple zones?

Hi

I'm simulating in EnergyPlus and I'm using ventilation as a secondary heating/cooling component next to my TABS. I have one AHU with a heating and cooling coil that is connected to 15 zones with different temperature demand. Let's say in winter I'm heating the different zones but one zone will reach its desired temperature quicker because of solar gains. What will the heating coil in the AHU do? Will it stop heating the air to the different zones or will it keep heating with the same air supply temperature till all the zones met their desired temperature? Or will it do something else? Also I have no heating coils placed in the different zones, only in my AHU. I am using the ThermostatSetpoint:DualSetpoint (20-24°C) and the SetpointManager:Scheduled:Dualsetpoint. Thanks in advance!
