Modeling heat recovery
Can I put a constraint that the thermal output of CHP provides only one of the two thermal loads?
No, unfortunately HOMER can't model the scenario where a thermal energy source can serve only one of the two thermal loads. If the other thermal load will be met exclusively with a boiler or some other dedicated heat source, you could leave it out of your HOMER analysis, and in HOMER simply model the one thermal load that the CHP can serve.
