U-Value unexpected impact

All, I'am modelling a mid-rise, curtain wall, office building in Egypt (hot humid climate 2a). while I do decrease the glazing's U-value, below 0.5, the energy consumption tends to increase. does this issue have a reality related explanation, is it a problem in my file, or is it a software bug issue?

Thanks for consideration,
