If you can set the heating rate of the plant loop using EnergyPlus Schedule (Compact), EMS Actuator, or EMS GlobalVariable, then yes you can change this variable using the BCTVB. I suggest first removing the external interface objects from your IDF file and seeing if you can set the heating rate using any of the aforementioned objects. If that works, then substitute the object with the corresponding external interface object. Please check the Input/Output reference to learn more about the external interface variables.
