[EnergyPlus_Support] "Purchased Steam"

["JV Dirkes II" <jvd2pe@xxxxxxx>]

I want to model a heating system served by district steam, or
"purchased steam".  Is it reasonable to define a PURCHASED:HOT WATER
system with NO PUMP for this purpose?  Will EPlus balk if there is no
pump?

There are real systems which provide the pumping energy from a central
plant, so this seems reasonable to me.... but I thought I'd ask before
putting in the effort to define the system.

Thanks!
