I would model it with the four pipe fancoil zone terminal object and connect it to your hot water plant loop. You should also create and connect them to a fake cooling plant loop (set the chiller power to hard size 0 Watts),

The pumping energy will be accounted because you already have a pump in your hot water loop. The power consumed will the volumetric flow multiplied by the increase in total pressure and divide by the performance.
If you need to take account of the distribution pipes energy losses, you should change the adiabatic pipes (at least one) in your hot water plant loop by outdoor pipes.
