class=gmail_quote>Hi All,<BR><BR><BR>I recently did a model where I had the
same system in both base and proposed but I changed the R-Value from 4 (base)
to 20 (proposed). I also changed the window U-value from .80 (base) to .35
(proposed). After I did the run, I saw only a 5% savings between the heating
and cooling use in the model. When I looked at the loads I saw the base had
twice as much cooling and heating load than the proposed. Does any know why
the energy savings would only be 5% when you have a huge difference between
the cooling and heating
loads?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>Lee<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
