Water loop Heat pump

I am currently trying to model a system which uses a water source heat pump. I have never modeled this system before, and was wondering if any one had any pointers. I have my heat rejection set up, but shouldn't there be some way to get my boiler and heating coils on this same loop as well. Any help would be much appreciated.

When in design wizard select under HVAC system cooling type DX and under heating type DX Heat pump. This will set your system type to PVVT which is ok.

Search the archives for other pointers.

I have been trying to do the same thing as Charles. So far in my attempts I have set up a loop to loop heat pump in the detailed interface which will pull heat from the chill water return and put it into the hot water return. However, I am using ground source cooling and do not want the heat pumps to provide just cooling. Is there a way for the heat pumps to just provide heating and not cooling?
