I think you can go two way about this: - Simplified: Have two separate plant loops with each a district heating object on it. - Detailed: Model the Heat Exchanger (HX) explicitly
If you want to explicitly model the Heat Exchanger, then yes, you would have a primary loop with on the supply side the district heating object, and on the demand side the radiant panels and the HX, which would be on the supply side of the secondary plant loop.
Primary plant loop:
Secondary plant loop: (coil on demand side is linked to AHU air Loop)
Obviously you'll have to understand the sequence of operation correctly, especially for the setpoints on each plant loops.
