[Equest-users] Where did the underheated and undercooled hours go in DOE2.3?

Thank you Bill and others for their response which helped provide the
answer.
I had forgotten (older but apparently not wiser) that underheated and
undercooled hours are only reported for hours when the fans are scheduled
to be ON. So even though my fans were running most hours (using "Cycle On
Any" as the Night Cycle Control), no unmet hours were being reported as my
fan schedule was modeled with an OFF fan schedule (ratio of 0 for all
hours).
