Infloor Radiant Heat

Hey all.

Using OpenStudio.

I have some concerns regarding how I am going about modelling infloor radiant heat. I understand that I have to create an internal source construction. But how do you link the low temperature radiant variable flow equipment to those constructions?

I have another question regarding the low temperature variable flow equipment. When I add the equipment to my model there is a link to attach the item to loops. There is a link for heating and cooling. In my case the loop is only used for heating so can I just leave the cooling link blank and not attach it to any loop and it will still run. I'm thinking it won't like that and will fail running due to this error. Any advice or reference to other questions is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
