CHW FCU with Electric Heat in OpenStudio

I'm wanting to model a chilled water FCU with electric heat in OpenStudio but am having trouble finding the best way to do so. The FCU equipment is for a 4-pipe unit that uses heating water as the heat source and I don't see an option to use an electric heat strip instead. I thought about creating an airloop but I have ~75 of these scenarios so it would be a major haul to create 75 airloops (I don't see a way to copy an airloop).

I also thought about overwriting the 4-pipe FCU heating coil to 0 btu/hr, but am not sure how I would add heat to the space.

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
