[Bldg-sim] Modeling Centralized Water-to-Water HPs with Geothermal HPs using EE4

[Chris Jones]

Ahmed, if I understand correctly:
1. There is a ground loop that feeds 
water-to-water heat pumps.  These heat pumps 
provide heating and cooling to the make-up air 
systems - both heating and cooling coils in each 
unit so there are two loops - the hot water loop and the chilled water loop?

2.  There are WSHP units in each suite - the loop 
feeding this units comes straight from the 
ground?  Or is the temperature maintained by the 
water-to-water loop after the ground source loop?

The answers will help determine the best way to 
model starting with EE4.  You may have to finish 
the modelling by editing the .DOE file.
