[EnergyPlus] ThermostatSetpoint:DualHeatingCooling

Right now, I am using ZoneHVAC:PTAC with ThermostatSetpoint:DualHeatingandCooling.
The heating is set to 20C and cooling is set to 24C.

But the thing is, when I execute this IDF (it is meant to run entire year with timestep of 15 minutes), the heating turns on even when the temperature is greater than 20 (sometimes 24). Furthermore, the meaning of "heat below 20C" and "cool above 24C" means there is deadband temperature between 20 and 24. But this dude NEVER TURNS OFF... please help! I have uploaded my idf file in this link ( I am using given SanFrancisco weather File )
