Air-Water heat pump in EnergyPlus?

Hi!,

I'm simulating a building that uses an air-water heat-pump to produce hot water. The Fan-coil and UTAs use hot water but is impossible to associate my heat pump with these systems.

The solution I have found is to use a boiler with efficiency 1 and calculate the real consumption using the COP of the heat pump.

The problem is that I need use Jeplus to calibrate the COP but its not an input variable.

Is there a way to define a hot water production system to which I can introduce the COP of my heat pump?

Thank you!
