You are correct, there is no direct input for capacity when using Coil:Cooling:Water. The results are reported to the eio file for html table.

For the coil, the load used to size the coil is shown as well as the Nominal Total Capacity at the rating point.

For the ZoneHVAC:Baseboard:RadiantConvective:Water, you are right again. Even though there is an input for Heating Design Capacity, the result is not reported. This would certainly make it difficult to know what the baseboard capacity is. I think this is a mistake and should be corrected.
