E+, How to model a AHU double fan (supply air and return air)

In my project, I have an AHU double fan (for air supply and return air) with a heat exchanger and a cooling coil, connected to a VRF. My purpose is to know the cooling capacity inside the room, something like what follow : http://www.daikin.com.sg/product-series/vrv-ahu/

I would like to model only the AHU and see the impact of the AHU on my cooling capacity, if is it significant or not.

How can I do this easily in Energy plus ? With "HVACTemplate:Zone:PTAC ? It seems to be quite close of what I would like.
Or with "HVAC templates : zone unitary " ? I have seen in the I/O reference, they model AHU with that one.
By chance, there is an example with AHU ?

Thank for your help

In my project, I have an AHU double fan (for air supply and return air) with a heat exchanger and with a cooling coil, connected to a VRF. VRV. My purpose is to know the cooling capacity inside the room.

I would like to model only the AHU and see the impact of the AHU on my cooling capacity, if is it significant or not. My setpoint is 24C and I have 20 m3/h/pers.
If I am not wrong, Basically, my AHU blows air in the room at 24 C, quite same than the inside temperature, because its connected to the VRV and has a heat exchanger.
