2021-01-11 17:36:50 -0500 marked best answer What's the correct way to model central air-to-water heat pump with backup electric boiler and hydronic baseboards?

I'm modeling a 2-floor school building in eQuest with multiple zones and planning to use one VAV AHU per floor. I have created a 2-pipe loop with chiller of type = Heat pump to represent air-to-water heat pump. Also added is an electric boiler to this 2-pipe loop. I have created an equipment control and load management strategy to only use the boiler below 15F when the heat pump chiller no longer produces heat. This loop is referenced by the central VAV AHU hot water and chilled water coils.

My question is regarding the zone heat source for the above system? Do I use classroom reheat coils or zone baseboards?

Do I create another loop with a separate electric boiler to connect zone baseboards or use this loop to add reheat coils to the airside system?
