How do I get unmet cooling/heating hours to show up in my sim file BEPU report?

I have an eQUESTion:

How do I get this to show up in my sim files? Is this a newer
installation? All I ever get is the first two "Percent of Hours" lines.
(And it's not because I always have zero unmet hours...)

Thanks,

Quick first take. It looks like the numbers that would come from an
SS-F/SS-R report summed up. I have never seen this either.

Maybe you can turn it off somehow? What do the above referenced reports
show?

Well, this seems new; never seen it. A quick glance at my eQuest reports tells me that the 3.63 - build 6510 version I have runs with DOE-2.2-47d. I see here "h", so it looks like the new one (or a test version).

Anyway, this is the info we need for LEED EAc1 Template. And we cannot get it from the SS-F/SS-R 'cause they would include the coincident hours, while this one does not seem to.

Looks exciting... I think I know what we're looking at...

Copied below is a (lengthy) discussion which essentially concluded with
one of Scott Criswell's typical answers - hammering the confusion out of
us all =). In it, he mentions the plan to include this helpful
information in future DOE2/eQuest releases... hopefully this is coming
sooner than later!

If you sum them up, you will often end up with more hours than what the BEPS/BEPU reports show.

Version 3.64 has enhanced BEPS reporting with underheated and undercooled
hours explicitly reported (along with some other fun features).

I understand 3.64 is to be released on CEC approval which is likely in the
order of weeks away.
