Just because it is cold outside doesn't mean there aren't areas of your building that may still need cooling. What type of system do you have? Do you have a constant supply temperature setting? Do you have any outside air in your system? Are there any interior spaces? Multiple floors? Are there any days within these months that approach or are hotter than ~55 F? Are there any large equipment loads in any of your spaces?
My first guess would be that your chilled water loop operation is set to
'standby' which means that if any AHUs served by it are running then the
pumps are on and the loop is cold. l would suggest you set it to 'snap'
on OAT or 'schedule' where you can control it off during the months you
know the chiller is winterized.
