[EnergyPlus_Support] Question about a term in the Input Output Reference file

["carlosochoam" <carlosochoam@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

   In the pdf file "InputOutputReference.pdf", on page 363 (325 in 
the printed document), the following appears:

Field: Maximum Indoor Temperature

This is the indoor temperature (in Celsius) above which ventilation 
is shutoff. This upper temperature limit is intended to avoid 
overheating a space and thus result in a cooling load.

For example, if the user specifies a maximum temperature of 28°C, 
ventilation is assumed to be available if the zone air temperature 
is below 28°C. If the zone air temperature increases to 20°C, then 
ventilation is automatically turned off.

   My question is, from where did the 20 degrees Celsius came from? 

Thanks!
Carlos
