40% Glycol Fluid, OpenStudio Model

Hey all,

My questions stems off my recent question regarding district heating/cooling (https://unmethours.com/question/12845/openstudio-district-heating-and-cooling/).

So I have this central plant that provides hot water and is used for some elements through the building such as radiant panels. The hot water is also sent to a heat exchanger that has a 40% glycol loop for the heating coils of the buildings AHUs. I am wondering how I would go about modelling this and if there is a way in OpenStudio to say that one side of the heat exchanger has water going through it and the other has glycol fluid going through it. I am assuming it will have to be two plant loops that are connected via this heat exchanger. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
