set point temperatures

when I run simulation in design builder with set point temperatures of 22 degree centigrade of heating and 24 degree centigrade of cooling I got -5000 which is negative of total cooling load of building and again changing setpoint temperatures to 24 of heating and 26 of cooling i got -3000 which is again negative but value has been changed and i didn't understand weather cooling load reduced or increased or energy consumption increased or decreased. can u give some reason and justification to my question. thank you in advance

In DB output tab Cooling load are graphed with negative values: with an higher cooling set point (from 24 to 26) your cooling load (and consumption, I suppose) is reducing (from 5000 to 3000)

from help page, (pleaes see here)

Cooling always shows as a negative heat gain in the results.

Moreover, do not fall into errors by confusing Zone sensible/total cooling and System sensible/total cooling (see the same help page)
