This document provides an in-depth look at plant modeling
in EnergyPlus. Plant refers to the subset of HVAC that
involves hydronic equipment for heating, cooling, and service
water heating (or domestic hot water).
This guide serves as an aid to help model plant systems in
EnergyPlus simulations. It is intended to augment the Input
Output Reference, which describes the syntax and the details
of individual input objects. This guide will discuss how the
different objects can be used to construct a plant loop that
can service a building load.
