This is going to be the long way to get there, but it seems like it would benefit you..

If it were me, I'd download and install CBECC-Com which is a free software interface for doing code compliance in California. However, it runs on the EnergyPlus engine and installs with sample files, including two with DOAS systems (dedicated outdoor air system ==> aka centralized ventilation systems). Open one of the sample models such as Documents\CBECC-Com 2019.1.3 SP1 Projects\OtherTests2019\RetlSml-DOAS+FPFC19.cibd19, run it, and then find the IDF file for the proposed file in the project directory.. This will give you an idea of how a system would actually be set up, and you can modify from there.
