seen this before (where you specify OA-From as the same system). What its probably doing is taking your return air as OA (at around 78) and cooling it (and taking moisture out of it).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">In both of your HVAC systems you have "Outdoor Air From System" object specified. In most cases, you will want to leave this object blank. The only time would want to use
that object if, for example, you were taking the return air from one system, and using it in another, separate, system. I am pretty sure that in your case, especially in the labs, all of the air will be coming from the outside, or will be recirculated within
the same system. </span></p>
