[EnergyPlus_Support] No heating occured when VAV with reheat is used



Hi all,

I use packaged rooftop VAV with reheat for my system. Since I need to 
use natural ventilation for sometime, I set the zone minimum air flow 
rate at AirTerminal:SingleDuct:VAV:Reheat to be zero to make sure no 
mechanical cooling is used when natural ventilation can satisfy the 
cooling load. However, by making this number to zero, the boiler stops 
working even when the zone air temperature is below the heating setpoint 
temperature. But when I change zero to 0.3, heating will work normally.
I am quite confused about this output, and would appreciate your help.
I also attached my idf file and spreadsheet here.

Thanks,

HJ
