Daily Heating Load Peaks at 6AM, 11AM, 5PM?

Doing a comparison study of different heating methods and all of my results have peaks ar 6AM, 11AM, and 5PM. Is there documentation that I can reference as to why this is?

Daily Heating Load Peaks at 6AM, 11AM, 5PM?

Doing a comparison study of different heating methods at various locations and all of my results have average daily heating load peaks in DView data at 6AM, 10AM, and 5PM. Is there documentation that I can reference as to why this is?

The attached image is a single day, but my averages for daily loads over an entire year always have peaks at these times. Any suggestions as to why BEopt produces this result would be greatly appreciated!

Here EDIT: Also attached is a GIF Table 15 from the Building America House Simulation Protocols, which displays ventilation events that have been suggested as the causes for these peaks. Unfortunately, these times do not correspond with the peaks that occur from averaging each hour of each date over an entire year. As you can see, there aren't always peaks at those times, but it happens often.the DView's Mains Heating Load (as seen in the first image).

It should also be mentioned that I can reference my data are translated half an hour prior, as to why this is?DView exports on every half hour. Therefore, in DView, these results would be at 630AM, 1030AM, and 530PM.
