EMS script for Fan Coil Units

Hi,

I am new to EMS (through Design Builder) and I am trying to make a script that keeps the fan coil supply fan on during occupied periods (6AM to 9PM) for all zones in my building. The availability is already set to 247 in the building so it wouldn't be the availability variable that I would need to use.

I am having trouble finding the correct variable to use to keep the fan coil supply fans on. I've attached my script below. Thank you.
