<p class=MsoNormal>Dear Nimesh Prajapati,<br>
<br>
It looks like your gas consumption went DOWN with increased absorptivity.
This makes sense to me since the building will absorb more solar heat and keep
itself warm.<br>
<br>
It looks like your electric consumption went UP with increased absorptivity.
This also makes sense since the building heat loads are increased by the
additional solar heat.<br>
<br>
Am I getting this correct?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
