Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Building is heatin g and cooling at the same time

[Linda Lawrie <linda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So, you need to report at a more detailed level.  "Detailed" shows at

understand it is not fighting by heating and cooling simultaneously.

It will also help you diagnose why you are getting this cycling.
