I tried the EnergyManagementSystem:Sensor object but was not able to get the pump linked to the chiller start/stop sequence. If the sensor and the actuator are both inside the chilled water loop it does not work. At least the sensor has to be outside the chilled water loop.
The chiller on/off sequence is controlled by the plant operation scheme and the loop availability manager. The pump is controlled by the loop availability manager. So far what still continues to be working better for me is to setup the AvailabilityManager:LowTemperatureTurnOff object to turn off the chilled water loop with low outdoor air temperature.
