I posted this reply to the TRNSYS mailing list, but thought since it also 
came through BLDG-SIM that I would answer it here in case anyone was 
interested.

""Standard TRNSYS does not contain models for fan coil units (or even fun 
coil units) - unless you have decent catalog data in which case you could 
use the Type 42 catalog look-up routine.  TESS has a few fan coil models 
(2-pipe and 4-pipe with various combinations of controls and fan types) 
that will be released in Version 2 of the TESS HVAC library (for release 
with TRNSYS 16).  These could be made available earlier if needed.  Or you 
could certainly write your own model and add it to TRNSYS.  We also have a 
model for horizontal buried pipes available in the current TESS GHP library.

As for the arrangement of fan coils and buried pipes I would suggest you 
first do a literature search to see what others have tried.  Then use the 
modular nature of TRNSYS and try as many combinations as you can imagine - 
behold the power of flexibility.....

Let us know if you have any other questions.""
