Hello, it is difficult to give any definitive answer without knowing more about your model, but I would venture to write this much:
- EnergyPlus does not "see future loads". Temperatures and cooling/heating loads are calculated on the basis of current conditions at each time step.
- From the fact that your actual temperatures seem equal to the setpoint during occupancy but under the setpoint the rest of the time, I would guess that there is no cooling demand and no cooling load outside of occupancy, and that cooling demand only arises due to internal gains during occupancy.
