eQuest PkgdVarVol Cooling and Heating Setpoint Issue

Hi Everyone,

I noticed something curious today when using eQuest 3.65 b. 7173. I setup a Pkgd Var Vol system to serve a single zone. The system has no reheat coils or baseboards, so only delivers heating and cooling through the main coils.

I set a setpoint of 72F during heating and 75F during cooling. Curiously, when I ran an hourly report, I noted the system was HEATING the zone based on the COOLING setpoint (75F). Has anyone seen this before? I'm stumped as to why the software would grab the cooling setpoint.
