Model for water cooled IT Equip in datacenters

Hello

Does anyone know of a platform or robust technique to model water cooled IT equipment in data centers? Energyplus has ElectricEquipment:ITE:AirCooled, which models conventional air cooled IT equipment. Going by the name, I wondered (wishfully) if there are plans to have an "ElectricEquipment:ITE:WaterCooled" in the future. It might be possible to model using ElectricEquipment:ITE:AirCooled along with LoadProfile:Plant and some clever EMS. Although I'm not sure how robust it would be. Does anyone here have experience with this kind of problem or relevant resources?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Ben
