Are there Workflows or In-Depth Whitepapers on Modeling Air-to-Water Heat Pumps for Radiant Floor/ceiling/panel heating/cooling in EnergyPlus 25.1?

I am researching how to retrofit an existing building with an Air-to-Water Heat Pump (ATWHP). Its in a prime location for heating and cooling with a ATWHP and DewPoint sensing Control. The existing radiant floor circuits are suitable for low temperature heating and high temperature cooling. Additional ceiling or wall radiant panels are an option if needed. I have reviewed "Bad allocation" error in EnergyPlus 25.1 with hydronic radiant floor + air-to-water heat pump" and other posts herein.
The main goal is to size the ATWHP to replace the gas boiler. There is no cooling other manual ventilation at this point in the building so the loading should not be excessive for this relatively high-mass earth-coupled/covered walk-out basement style building that performs adequately but needs a little mechanical cooling too.
