District cooling has a COP of 1. It mimics the real life scenario where you receive chilled water from a central plant. It basically a constant sink of capacity that you are billed for by the unit of energy.
You can replace the District Cooling for a Chiller:ConstantCOP
object, but you would also need to create a condenser water loop with a cooling tower.

District cooling has "has" a COP of 1. It mimics the real life scenario where you receive chilled water from a central plant. It basically a constant sink of capacity that you are billed for by the unit of energy.energy. Therefore, you can only specify the maximum capacity of the object, not the performance.

to the inlet node of the Distric cooling object and the Chilled Water Outlet Node Name
to the outlet node of the object.
