Large amount of heating load in summer and Large amount of cooling load in winter

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone can please help me with this issue in eQuest. There is large amount of consistent heating load in summer and large amount of consistent cooling load in winter. Although cooling peak is in July which makes sense, and heating peak is in January which makes sense too. I am not able to figure out, for example there is 1800 ton peak cooling load in summer, then in winter months cooling load is almost 900 tons, similar situation for heating in summer. The building has mechanical systems such as VAVs and CAVs, Chillers and boilers. Many Air systems have economizers and Energy recovery ventilators. I also checked the SS-E report, it shows that heating and cooling coincident hours are consistent through out the year. So both coincident heating and cooling is happening 8760 hours of years which is completely wrong. Can anyone please help with this problem.

Thanks a lot

Nouman,

Please attach your .inp and .pd2 files. It's much easier to diagnose
problems when we can run the model ourselves.
