Modeling Air-to-Water Heat Pump Chiller in OpenStudio/EnergyPlus

Hello everyone,

I’m currently working on a project that involves modeling an Air-to-Water Heat Pump Chiller. You can find more information about the equipment here: https://www.trane.com/commercial/north-america/us/en/products-systems/chillers/air-cooled-chillers/ascend-air-to-water-heat-pump.html

I would like to know if there is a specific method or best practices for modeling this type of chiller in OpenStudio/ EnergyPlus. What EnergyPlus object should I use to accurately represent this heat pump?

Are there any example files or resources available that illustrate similar chiller setups?

Any insights or guidance on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
