Zone temperatures not matching setpoints during the night

Using designbuilder to create the model...

I am trying to track zone temperatures for various cooling setpoint schedules. Time after time, the zone temps will match the thermostat setpoint throughout the entire day, and then from 9:00pm-6:00am, the zone temperature will rise to 25 degC and just stay there, despite what my thermostat setpoint is. Is there some setting in the model that is causing this to happen? I can't seem to find anything that would cause the model to do this during this time range.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
