Baseline AHU system level sizing - LAT

Hi everyone!

Can somobedy explain me please how should be AHU heating coil leaving air temepratures correctly set? Especially for system 5-7 there is packaged VAV with reheat and I wonder what temeperatures should be used for AHU heating coil and zone heating coil (reheat coil). I would say that reheat coil should be set with supply-air-to-room-air temperature difference of 20°F because of design airflow rates, so if room heating setpoint is for instance 72°F then reheat coil is set at 92°F. But my question is what about AHU heating coil? Should it be set the same as reheat coil? Or quite opposite = at 52°F and it would be something like preheat coil? Is it prescribed somewhere in App.G?

Thanks for any advice in advance!
