HeatPump:PlantLoop:EIR Outdoor Air Nodes

Hi,

I wish to simulate a central HVAC system using an Air to Water Heat Pump. I know that this feature is not available in OpenStudio so I just exported my OSM file to IDF and made the changes accordingly.

The thing I have trouble understanding is how to add outdoor air nodes to the Source Side Inlet Node Name and Source Side Outlet Node Name of HeatPump:PlantLoop:EIR:Cooling and HeatPump:PlantLoop:EIR:Heating components.

I select AirSource as condenser type but I don't have any options for Outdoor Air Nodes and it seems I can't create new ones?

When I look at an example online ( link text ) they put Outdoor Air Inlet Node and Outdoor Air Outlet Node but the last one is not even listed in the nodes list? Am I missing something?

Thank you!
