FW: Increase in roof insulation increases cooling load.

Cyrus,

Are the loads you are referring to peak (tons and MBH) or annual consumption (kWh, therms)? If it is annual consumption, then Eric's explanation below makes sense. I have that experienced that in models as well, although the effect is less pronounced with economizer control. But still in those cases the peaks have been less extreme.
