BEOpt: No energy used for water heating for certain time periods

Hello,

I am modelling a multi unit townhouse right now and have noticed that in the hourly output view, some months have a drop that isn't present in other homes that I have modelled for the same weather file. It drops down to 0 btu at some points which doesn't make sense. I have changed the water heater type, floorplan, single-family detached vs multi-family. I am using a small city within California as my weather file that I got from https://climate.onebuilding.org/, and I compared it to Los Angeles, and the trend is still there. Does anyone have any suggestion on why this could be the case? Thanks

It drops down to 0 btu at some points which doesn't make sense. I have changed the water heater type, floorplan, and checked between single-family detached vs multi-family.
