Buildings have many interactive effects, and sometimes the results of simulations do not match your intuition. When this happens, you should dig into the numbers and see what is going on. I would start by double checking that the building models are really identical except oriention. Then I would suggest looking at the Sensible Heat Gain Summary report in the tabular output file. You may need to look at hourly output results to really get a deep understanding of why the results are the way they are.
