Actuate coil capacities with EMS?

Hi, there,

I need some help on a case where I want to change the cooling and heating coil capacities dynamically under some condition (through EMS program). Systems are fixed-sized in idf, I've tried the Unitary HVAC Design Heating Capacity and Unitary HVAC Design Cooling Capacity, but they're not working. Is it feasible to actuate capacities in E+? Any suggestions?

Thanks!
