NC-2009 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
I'm modeling a baseline system according to System 5. I am considering Table 6.8.1A in order to determine the performance of the DX cooling coils. As in the AHUs there are heating coils that are heated by water, shall I consider "all other" as "heating section type"? Or is the "heating section type" relative to some another issue, e.g. to the defrost system?

The heating section type refers to the fuel source used for space heating. In a system 5 it is a fossil fuel boiler so you use the "all other" rows since it is not electric resistance heat.
