I wanted to input actual chiller performance curve using HVACTemplate. That's why I used HVACTemplate:Plant:Chiller:ObjectReference with HVACTemplate:ChillerWaterLoop and Chiller:Electric:EIR. Howerver, I got fatal error because I didnt fill in Chilled Water Inlet Node Name and Chilled Water Outlet Node Name. However, I expected that I dont have to worry about Inlet and Outlet because HVACTemplate will take care of it. Does anyone know how I can use HVACTemplate:Plant:Chiller:ObjectReference with Chiller:Electric:EIR?
I added corresponding part in idf as below.
