Zone thermostat setpoint

Hi Guys,

When I look at the hourly report for my proposed model zones, it shows the
thermostat setpoint as -999 for some hours and for some reason, it thinks
that it is in the heating mode (only shows the thermostat setpoint for
heating) even in summer time. I have the same system type (VAV),
temperature and fan schedule for both the proposed and reference model, but
I don's see the same problem in my reference model. Has anyone seen this
before? any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Behnam

Behnam,

?-999? is a secret code for optimal start. See the help screen. The summertime heat might be from some cool mornings.

Behnam,

Sorry, I was thinking about the -999 option in the fan schedule. Can you send your .pd2 and .inp files to the group?
