How to override schedules using EMS?

I want to implement a specific control strategy to control the ventilation system coupled to a radiant cooling system. The ventilation system should be on during the occupation period (from 8:00 to 17:00). I also want to turn on the ventilation system during at night (after 17) or early in the morning (before 8) but only if the inside surface temperature is 1 C above the dew point temperature and only for 1 hour or 2 hours after it turns on. I have tried to use schedules as sensors and as actuators to accomplish this, but I am having difficulties with specifying the operation duration. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help.
