Basic tutorials on HVAC modeling

May I ask if the experts here can recommend entry level tutorial on how to model HVAC system in EnergyPlus and OpenStudio?

Currently, I'm using the Ideal Loads Air System to estimate cooling/heating loads and plug loads in teaching of energy modeling. However, for more realistic and detailed HVAC system design in practice, the workflow might be quite different and complicated.

I'd appreciate if you can suggest good textbook or tutorials for starters in this regard that explains the basics of HVAC system and the technical procedures to model typical HVAC systems in EnergyPlus and OpenStudio!

Thank you very much!
