Looking at the table outputs, the cooling coil load is lower with 0.75. Output variables are all defined in the Input Output Reference. The variables in the above tables are defined in the section titled "System Loads Outputs":

The following two variables report the heat energy that system components (including packaged equipment, fans, main coils, reheat coils, humidifiers, desiccant dehumidifiers, evaporative coolers and heat exchangers) add or remove from the air loop.

Air System Total Heating Energy and Air System Total Cooling Energy

And further down.

Air System Cooling Coil Total Cooling Energy, Energy removed from air loop by Cooling Coils (Joules)

Air System Total Cooling Energy should be nearly the same with any HX effectiveness. Air System Cooling Coil Total Cooling Energy is lower with higher HX effectiveness.
