<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">When modeling an industrial building, I am trying to implement a<br>
increase in the baseline temperature setpoint for summer cooling. To do<br>
so I increased the setpoint in the HVAC Air-side system entry from 70 to<br>
74 and therefore the building should be using less energy to cool the<br>
building (located in Massachusetts) in the summer time.<br>
<br>
Why in this case is the energy usage (for space cooling) increasing<br>
after implementing this energy-saving measure?<br>
<br>
I can send over a building file if need be to analyze my problem.<br>
Thanks,<br>
