[EnergyPlus_Support] a ghost weekly forcing (relaxation)?



Hi, I'm modeling a building that's open 24/7, so I've done my best to simplify all the schedules. Despite that simplification, I get a weekly temperature spike in the occupied/conditioned zone in the building, corresponding to the two weekend days.

A possible wrinkle here is that despite there being some cooling loads every day of the year, the reported zone temperatures stay pegged to the heating thermostat setpoint--shouldn't zone temperatures rise through the deadband to the cooling setpoint when the zone is in cooling? On the weekends, the T does rise towards the cooling setpoint, but rarely gets all the way there.

The building is designed with a core zone that's maintained to human thermal comfort, and surrounding zones (east/west, north/south, roof) that are allowed to fluctuate farther as a buffer.

If useful, I copied in all my used schedules at the end.

Thanks for your consideration,
Nick.
