District heat for floors and water heating in OpenStudio (HVAC Tab)

Hello everyone, I am working right now on a residential building that uses district heating to heat both floors and potable water. And since I am new in using OpenStudio, I encountered some difficulties in proceeding to the stage of the HVAC, I actually have done a little but I am not sure if I did the right thing and if it is enough, so if anyone could help me figure out how to make it possible to configure this system, I would be really glad :)

Here below is what I have done so far (for heating potable water); image description image description image description

And this is concerning floor heating (I am not sure if I did the right thing using "HW Htg Coil")

If you have any remarks or suggestions, don't hesitate :)

Greetings, Raghda

Update: I added a variable speed pump here

And this is concerning floor heating (I am not sure if I did the right thing using "HW Htg Coil")

image description Update: I added a 'Setpoint Manager Follow Ground Temperature' above

Update: I added a variable speed pump here also
