I made 2similar models. One i did with better insulation. But the results were oposit. The insulated bulding consumed more cooling.. how can tht be?

@YIFAT SELA what simulation tool are you using? Please mention it in the title or body of your post, as well as add a tag so that others can provide better help.

Also, can you upload your model to Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. and then share a URL for others to download? That would help others provide better solutions.

More insultation will often increase the cooling energy if you have high internal gains and a lot of windows.
