Simulate equipment in isolation

Keen to simulate different configurations of plant but without modelling the whole building.

Is it possible to simulate a pair of cooling towers that maintain a given CW setpoint and use historical data for entering and leaving temps only across the boundary. The goal is to test different power consumption for CT's running simultaneously at lower speed vs rotating each CT given a run hours limit.

I'm just getting started with OpenStudio and this seems like a simple way to start
