Hello! I am trying to add a photovoltaic thermal system to my residential building .idf file from PNNL, using the IDF editor in EnergyPlus. I keep encountering various errors in trying to add the system with the Simple-PVT feature, and I think most of the errors stem from not being able to see how the PVT system fits into the existing plantloop in the building model.

Is there a tool I can use to easily insert the PVT system into the PNNL model? I've tried using OpenStudio 1.5 to open the file, but I keep getting the error that my "file is not valid to draft strictness".
