How can I import chiller from BCL, EnergyPlus library or create a new chiller

Hello All, I'm simulating a model with water cooled system.
I have only one chiller in my OpenStudio library. So, I want to expand my OpenStudio library in three ways:

1) Importing one Chiller from components BCL: I´ve already found chillers in the web BCL, but I don't know how to import them. I need to import from web BCL because in my connection it is not possible to access BCL directly from OpenStudio. I´ve already tried to paste files that I downloaded from online BCL in the directory "Measures" of OpenStudio, but it ddn´t work. Which folder should I paste the files from online BCL???

2) Import one chiller from EnergyPlus library: I want to import one component chiller directly from .idf EnergyPlus library. Is it possible? Maybe with one EnergyPlus measure?

3) If it isn't possible to import a component chiller from EnergyPlus library, I want to create a new chiller in OpenStudio copying the coeficients manually to OpenStudio.

So, could you tell how to expand my OpenStudio library components?

Thanks!!!
