[EnergyPlus_Support] The wierd results of cooling load rate.

["xjtu.guowei" <xjtu.guowei@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All:

I have run the simulation for two models. The only difference between
them is the thermostat schedule. 
The first one is 75F(Cooling) for the all time during the day; the
other one is 75F(6:00AM-5:00PM)and 80F (the rest time of the day),
which is sort of like nightsetback. People is in the zone from 7AM-5PM.
>From my analysis, for the second model,the cooling load rate will be
going up around 7Am and go back to almost the same values as the first
model. 

But from the results I got, during the period of 7AM-5PM, the second
model's cooling load rate is about 20%-15% highter than the first
model, which didn't make any sense to me. I am wondering if there is
anything wrong with E+ or my model? Please help me to figure it out.
By the way, I checked the heating load rate which made sense to me.

Thank you in advance.
