Calibration with Real Weather Data Extreme Year

Hello,

Has anyone experienced odd results with calibrating a model to monthly
utility using real weather for a particular year, if that year happens to be
very extreme and it is a heating dominant climate?

I am seeing that eQUEST greatly over predicts energy consumption for space
heating when compared to the utility bills. Has anyone else ever experienced
something like this?

Running TMY in the model shows a better agreement but ASHRAE Guideline 14
calls for actual weather from the same year as the utility.

Any input on this would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank You,
