[EnergyPlus_Support] dual setpoint with deadband thermostat/furnace control problems

["darthskunky" <darthskunky@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm modeling a fairly simple home that's around 1800 square feet with
a COMPACT HVAC furnace (set up mostly to autosize.)  I've been having
trouble figuring out what's going on with the thermostat, which I
believe is has a control type of dual setpoint with deadband, which is
what I want. I set the heating to 68 and the cooling to 77.
Nevertheless, looking at my hourly data, there seem to be days when
the heating and cooling systems are directly opposing eachother.
Would someone be willing to look at my files to see what's going on?
I'm new to EnergyPlus and have been having numerous problems obtaining
anything close to what seem like valid outputs.  My input file is
pretty simple, so troubleshooting might not be too hard.  I'll upload
the files.  The idf is called habitatcomposite.  If someone could help, 
I would be incredibly grateful, as I need to get this figured out 
pretty soon.  Thanks a lot!
