[EnergyPlus_Support] Cooling Recovery Problem

["aboyemeplus" <Merid.Aboye@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to simulate a scenario where Air Conditioning (in this 
case Purchased Air at fixed flow rate) is supplied to a building, 
after the building has been shut off for a number of days. The idea 
is to let the building come into equilibrium with the surrounding 
environment (90F Zone air and Wall temperatures) before initiating 
cooling. 
I am simulated the problem using a modified weather file where all 
parameters between 7/1 and 7/21 3PM are set equal to the 7/21_15:00 
wheather data record, which happens to have a DB temperature of 90F.
The simulation is run strating on 7/01_0:15 and ending on 7/21_ 
24:00. Cooling is initiated on the last day, at 15:00. Upto that 
point, results show that each zone air temperature only increase by 
about 5F to 85F, dispite the fact that the unconditioned building 
sits in 90F environment for over 20 days with infiltartion turned 
ON. Since floors are modeled as non-conducting, I am having 
difficulty identifying what the sink is? Furthermore, whether the 
building is shutoff for a couple days or 20 days, I do not see 
differences in the transient temperature responses. Can someone 
please help? All relevant files are saved under \Problem 
Submttals\Aboye_recovery\.

Thank you for your kind support.
