EnergyPlus - Air Loop Setpoint Manager

Hi

I'm making a model in EnergyPlus (EP) but it seems that the ventilation is not working properly. Under 'SetpointManager: Scheduled' I've got an object 'Air Loop Setpoint Manager' with Schedule Name 'Air loop cooling set point temperature: Always 14.0°C'. When I look at the output, the air temperature of the ventilation is always around 14-16°C (which is far too low). Why doesn't EP take the 'ThermostatSetpoint:DualSetpoint' into account? The heating set point schedule is 20°C and the cooling set point schedule is 24°C. So normally the air temperature of the ventilation should be between these two values, right? Thanks in advance!
