<p>I can't understand how a decrease in U-value for the wall and roof of building can lead to increased energy consumption.<br>Has anyone come across this phenomenon in eQuest? Or can anyone offer an explanation how this is possible.<br>
Any help would be highly appreciated.</p>
<div>Cheers,<br>Kishan</div>

<div>Dear Kishan,</div>

<div>Only thing that I can think of is that whether you are changing the thermal capacities of material together with the U-values which in turn might effect on the results in a dynamic regime.</div>
