Peak Cooling Demand is Zero even there is good amount of Cooling Energy Consumption

Can anyone explain me the different scenario when the Cooling Peak Demand is absolutely Zero, but there is a good amount of energy consumption for cooling?

The 35 floor (600,000) sqft office building is located in Anchorage (very cold climate), but I still assume the core zones will have cooling due to the high internal heat gains.

I also see that the "peak demand" chart shows the cooling peak for January 9th, while its somewhere around June-August for most of the northern hemispherical locations.

Any experience with such issues for the particular/similar locations? What's the fix here?
