BRANCHes are only a way to connect components together.  Every component listed 
on a BRANCH must exist elsewhere in the idf file.  In this case the first error 
message indicates that it could not find a PIPE object with the name 
"INLETSIDE".  

However, for your system, you do not need any PIPE objects.  The branch for the 
air loop should contain things such as a fan and coils and possibly an outside 
air system.  For an example of a simulation with low temp electric radiant 
heat, see RadLoTempElecTermReheat.idf
