Reusing condenser heat in reheat-coils

I’m working on an indoor vertical farming project where I want to reclaim condenser heat from chillers to reheat supply air during dehumidification-only operation (no sensible heating load).

Is it possible in EnergyPlus to route some or all of a chiller’s condenser water flow through zone reheat coils on the demand side, so that the condenser loop can directly provide reheat during these dehumidification-only periods?

If yes, what’s the recommended way to configure the plant loops and reheat coils to model this heat recovery strategy?
