No impact when changing U-values

Dear all,

It's been a while!

I'm having some trouble with my simulations..

I just realized that, for the files attached, increasing the U-values of
the windows & walls dramatically (x10 times) is not increasing my
consumption results, but even decreasing the consumption of some
categories!

This is counter-intuitive, as increasing the U-values should mean that
the building is gaining/losing more heat to the external environment,
and would thus mean that more energy is required to condition the space!

I have been changing the U-values of:

* EL1, EL2, EL3, EL4, EL5, and EL6 EWall Construction

* All the Windows

Can someone please have a look at the files attached and advise
accordingly?

Many thanks,

Omar Katanani
