No it does not automatically interact with the heat balance.

The hot water heater needs to have the standby losses specified by the user 
for the hot water tank.  This loss affects the amount of time the burner 
has to run to maintain the tank temperature.  This same loss can be input 
in the building as an additional internal load.
