Using thermostats to reduce morning warm-up demand

I am currently running an energy model on an 80,000 sf medical office building. In my proposed case I have some large building demands and I am trying to find a way to model some demand limiting in the morning warm-up. I tried scheduling the electric reheat to reduce the demand in the morning, but that brings hundreds of unmet load hours, so I began trying to use 2 different thermostat settings, one turning on at 6 am and one at 5, and use them in my templates so that one floor warms up at 5 and the other at six, but my demand profile is still all on at 5. See attached demand viz.

Any suggestions?
