Openstudio District Heating and Cooling [closed]

Hey all first time poster here. Have read many questions/answers that have helped me with the learning of OpenStudio and how various items can be implemented. That being said I have a question regarding the District Heating and Cooling items in the library.

I am modelling a building that is part of a campus that has a centralized cooling and heating water system. The hot and cool water are then sent to various buildings, including the one I am modelling, and used for heating and cooling them. My problem is I know the components of the various AHUs and that the cooling and heating coils are using this hot water, I just don't know how I should apply this properly. I have the AHU made but I don't know how to connect the coils up with the district heating/cooling.

Do I just make a water loop and add the district heating in the supply portion of the loop and then have a pump and pipe connected to the coil? I think this is the right way to implement this but some guidance would be great.

Thanks in advance. Dustin

That sounds correct, are you hitting run errors when you do this? I made the loop below by dropping in one of the template systems that use a cold water loop. I deleted the chiller and then dragged the Distict Cooling to the "Drag From Library" dropzone.

Yes this is exactly what I implemented. Didn't have the points to place an image so did my best to explain it. Appreciate the quick response.
