Unreasonable results when using in EnergyPlus

Hi everyone,

I'm using WindowMaterial:SimpleGlazingSystem to investigate how SHGC impacts total electricity consumption.

In each simulation, I modified only the SHGC (U = 2.67, Visible Transmittance = 0.4).

I expect to see a decrease in electricity consumption with a lower SHGC.

However, the result below is really confusing.

I have read the InputOutputReference and EngineeringReference, but I still struggle to figure out how to explain the result.

Is there anything I misunderstand?

Thank you.
