Hi there!

I'm having a bit of a problem in thermostatic control of a Heat Pump (EnergyPlus 8.8). I set the thermostat in single heating mode during winter and in single cooling mode during summer. Checking the results, I see the cooling system operating in single heating mode and vice versa. I have the same problem when I set the thermostat in single heating mode through the whole year: it actually behaves as in mode 3: single heating or cooling. I know I can solve this problem setting a proper availability to shut down the coils, but I would like to understand what I'm doing wrong here.

Thanks in advance for any help!
