I'm using:

  • HVACTemplate: Thermostat
  • HVACTemplate:System:Unitary
  • HVACTemplate:Zone:Unitary

In the field heating coil type there are three options: electric, gas and hot water. I'm using electric, but I'm not sure if these is the correct way to model the split when is working like a heat pump. For now, I did these:

I would like to know if what I have done is correct or what is the correct way to model these kind of commercial air conditioners.
