Why the internal temperature of the model started from a value close to the setpoint temperature, rather than starting from room temperature like a real-world scenario.

I have a question that troubles me a lot and I would like to have some clarification on it.

Let's imagine that we have a freezer in the real world, which has been stopped at t=0. The internal temperature would be around room temperature. At t≠0, the freezer starts running, so the internal temperature drops to the desired temperature, and then it stabilizes due to on/off cycles of the compressor.

It is not the same case in EnergyPlus. I ran a freezer model and the temperature started from a value close to the desired temperature, as if the refrigeration system was already working.

Any explanation as to why EnergyPlus is doing this?

Let's imagine that we have a ~~freezer~~ refrigerated warehouse in the real world, which has been stopped at t=0. The internal temperature would be around room temperature.
