I am using energyPlus to see what is the impact of insulation thickness on thermal transmission load (heat gain and heat loss) in a thermal mass material. In AZ climate, I get increase in the amount of heat loss with increasing insulation thickness. and when I checked back OpenStudio results, I noticed that this happens in non winter months. I am using the med-office building as the base model of DOE and just changing the wall material. Any clue why this is happening? Also this does not happen in cold climate simulation
