add new actuators by changing the source code of EnergyPlus

I am working on an ASHRAE project for demand control ventilation. I need to add three actuators by changing the source code of EnergyPlus:

• Minimum Primary Air Flow Fraction in module AirTerminal:SingleDuct:SeriesPIU:Reheat

• Minimum Primary Air Flow Fraction in module AirTerminal:SingleDuct:ParallelPIU

• Zone Minimum Air Flow Fraction in module AirTerminal:DualDuct:VAV

Please advise what modules and what procedure to follow to add the 3 actuators? I already have the software environment ready to build EnergyPlus.
