Chilled Beam with DOAS

I'm trying to become familiar with modeling different HVAC system types in OpenStudio that I am going to use for a school project. I have been using the different measures available in the BCL to replace existing HVAC system types to see how the new HVAC systems should be set up. This has been a successful approach until I tried to model an Active Chilled beam with DOAS. The measure available in the BCL fails to run. It provides an error message stating "undefined method `setDesignWaterOutletTemperature'". I tried to create a chilled beam system using an existing fan coil w/DOAS system that was previously modeled, but there are a very large number of unmet hours, which leads me to believe I am overlooking something when setting up the system components. I read through the Input output reference to see of there was any additional information regarding the AirTerminal:SingleDuct:ConstantVolume:FourPipeBeam object, but it wasn't very informative. Can anyone point me in the right direction to either fix the Chilled Beam with DOAS measure available in the BCL or to a Chilled beam system template that might be helpful?
