[Bldg-sim] Hybrid System - Definition?

[Will Mak]

That's how we've interpreted it also. Pretty much if it's not completely electric heat, it's hybrid (in terms of ASRHAE 90.1 App G)

I've tried to find a specific definition before with not a whole lot of luck. We've taken it as pretty much anything at is not purely sourced from the electrical grid. The example that I always run into is primary heating using a heat pump with a natural gas fired boiler as backup/supplemental heat. So it would be an electric/fossil hybrid. If anyone comes across an official definition I would be interested in seeing it.

Trying to track down the definition of a hybrid system according to ashrae. 

Does anyone know where that definition can be found?

Cheers.
