How can i model hot water loop and air loop for a single zone

Hi,

i´m trying to model an existing building where each zone is heated by radiators (hot water) and a ventilation system. So each zone would need a hot water loop with coil:heating:water on the demand side and an air loop to get the heat from the water to the zone air, and in addition to that an air loop for the ventilation system. Both loops are heated by district heating and work separat from each other. As i read here EnergyPlus can´t handle two air loops per zone. So has anybody an idea how to model that? Can i model the coils via zone equipment?

Thanks allready for your help.
