Outdoor Air Reset for Domestic Water Heater Supply Water Setpoint

edit

Please help me determine what I'm doing wrong in my EnergyManagementSystem implementation of outdoor air reset for the supply water setpoint of my central domestic water heater. I started with the WaterHeaterDHWPlantLoop example IDF file. I tried using SetpointManager:OutdoorAirReset first, but couldn't get that to work.

Below is an excerpt from my IDF file. The simulation runs without errors, but the EMS code doesn't change the supply water setpoint.
