[Bldg-sim] EnergyPlus Node Structure/Diagram

Hi everyone, 
 
I use Design Builder as an interface to run EnergyPlus. Design Builder
uses Compact HVAC to model HVAC system. EnergyPlus takes input data from
Design Builder, expands Compact HVAC into an EPlus idf file and runs the
simulation. I observed that conversion of Compact HVAC into an Eplus
HVAC system is far from being perfect.
 
I would like to modify the Eplus idf input file to reflect the actual
HVAC system. I am experiencing problem in developing node details for
the six HVAC loops. I have gone through the input/output reference
manual of Eplus. I understand the concept of loop, node & node diagram
but find it hard to develop an actual node diagram & input relevant data
into an idf file.
 
Could you please suggest is there any example or literature that
demonstrates practically development of node structure and input file
for all the six loops?  
 
I would appreciate your help & suggestion.
 
 
Thanks
