Hello,

If you know the heating and cooling load of a building, you can impose 
this directly on the fluid stream, for example by using Type 682 if you 
have the TESS Loads and structures library. The load needs to be on an 
hourly basis (kW), so if you only have a yearly energy consumption (kWh) 
you need to find a way to calculate an hourly distribution. If flow rate 
and heating/cooling temperatures are fixed, the varying load means that 
fluid return temperatures vary accordingly, which in turn affects the 
working conditions of the chiller.

Hope this helps a bit.

Best regards,
Knut Erik Enerstvedt
