Section 2.2.19.1.13 Field: Heating Coil Type says "The default value is None. Note that the confguration of HVACTemplate:System:VAV assumes that there will be reheat coils or baseboard heating to provide heating control at the zone level. If a heating coil is specifed, the heating and cooling coil setpoint controls and availability schedules must coordinate to prevent the coils from opposing each other."

Also, please refer to my sketch. It's my understanding. It shows air-side schematic diagrams and changes in supply air temperature for 3 different cases with different heating system. The point is the location of the temperature from which each coil is controlled.

I found that the case on the right (HVACTemplate:System:VAV with heating coil and HVACTemplate:Zone:VAV without reheat coil) didn't work well when heating. Therefore, even if your project has AHU with heating coil and VAV box without reheat coil, I think you had better model it like the case on the left (HVACTemplate:System:VAV without heating coil and HVACTemplate:Zone:VAV with reheat coil).

I think the point is the location of difference in air temperature from which location that each coil is controlled.uses for control.

The chart at the bottom center of my sketch shows that if heating coil setpoint is higher than cooling coil setpoint and heating coil is always available, the supply air is heated even in summer. The VAV system uses unnecessary heating energy. The system tries to meet zone cooling setpoint, so the supply air is not fully heated to the heating coil design setpoint, but often the zone cooling setpoint is not met.

I found that the case on the right (HVACTemplate:System:VAV with heating coil and + HVACTemplate:Zone:VAV without reheat coil) didn't work well when heating. Therefore, even if your project has AHU with heating coil and VAV box without reheat coil, I think you had better model it like the case on the left (HVACTemplate:System:VAV without heating coil and + HVACTemplate:Zone:VAV with reheat coil).
