How to connect an unglazed transpired collector to domestic hot water system?

Hi, I'm simulating a building that has an unglazed transpired collector. In practice, the extra heat might be used for the domestic hot water network and save energy in that area. As it seems currently defined, the unglazed transpired collector object of Energyplus only feeds air loops. I might be missing something, as I have modelled those collectors only a few times. How one is able to connect the water loop with the air loops?

Thanks for your answer!
