Seasonal thermostat setpoints / EnergyPlus

Hello,

I am trying to put some setup for the HVAC system:

I want the cooling mode to be running from May 1st until Oct 1st the setpoint should be 25C° the Heating would be on if the temp goes below 16C°.
The heating mode should be on from Oct 1st Until May 1st the setpoint should be 22C°and the cooling would be on if the temp went above 30C.

How can I do that ?? I am learning but this thing was difficult.

Comments

For which application?

@Uthman, try the following (here, for a zone named "Office"):

It's pretty basic (e.g. no daily setbacks, no difference between weekdays vs weekends). Adapted from the example provided here (just before "Output"). Hope this is close to what you're after.
