I am having an issue with unmet heating hours (About 519 of them), but my question deals with a series of variables I am using from “Hourly Results” (attached). This unit is an AHU with a hot water coil, no outdoor air and the throttling range is 6 deg. From the attachment, I highlighted all the hours where the temperature was 3 deg less than the set point. The schedule is the one found on January 4<sup>th</sup>, not the first 3 days. I don’t understand why eQuest is not using the same schedule for the entire year. Is there other data I should be looking at to figure out my problem? Or is it simply that this unit cannot recovery fast enough? I did quickly try raising the set point 0.5 degrees each hour, but still had 464 unmet hours.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"'>And why does eQuest use -999 in unoccupied periods where the set point is satisfied?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"'>Thanks, Adam<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif";color:black'>Adam Rustige<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif";color:black'>Energy Analyst<br></span><span style='color:black'><br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif";color:black'>FDH, Inc. <br>222 S.
