Thanks to all who have made suggestions! I am well along with
planning, but still have some issues to work out. The biggest issue that
remains unresolved is how to model the specialty HVAC unit for the pool which
uses recovered condenser energy for both reheat and pool water heating.

For the thermal simulation of the actual swiming pool, I use
an EMS code with the equation (1) of the ASHRAE Handbook HVAC Application 2007
chapter 4

simulate the actual pool inside a thermal zone since you can place one of these
objects, inside a zone, and adjust the sensible energy loss to those of a real
one. Another aspect is that with a tank object you can garantie the integration
of the energy neaded to heat the water an account for water loss, that would
corresponde to a certan water consumption. That latent loss into the zone would
have to be introduced into the zone with another object.
