Description
This is a feature request.
I would like to see the use of HVACTemplate:Zone:IdealLoadsAirSystem deprecated in favor of explicitly creating a ZoneHVACIdealLoadsAirSystem and adding it to the ThermalZone's equipmentList.
The current implementation is creating confusion as highlighted in this question: https://unmethours.com/question/30924/outside-air-ideal-loads/
Related to #3100

Research direction
Start by locating the implementation of zone.setUseIdealAirLoads and reviewing the ThermalZone equipmentList behavior. Read related issue #3100 and the linked Unmet Hours question for context. Done means the method explicitly creates a ZoneHVACIdealLoadsAirSystem, adds it to the ThermalZone equipmentList, and no longer relies on the HVAC template.
