How to add electric powered detailed HVAC in Design Builder?

Dear Fellows,

I am working on an institutional building model. The building has 5 types of Fan Coil Units serving 32 different zones. It has 3 Fresh Air Handling Units for all zones. The outdoor air enters the FCU whose coils are not connected to any water system rather the heating and cooling coils work with electric power to provide set point temperatures. Refrigerant is circulating in the cooling coil. The air is then supplied to the zone. I don't know how to model this template? Shall I use only a Fan Coil Unit with air inlet and outlet connecting to zone only? Kindly help.
