EnergyPlus: changing insulation inputs does not change my simulation outputs?
So I've been changing my insulation values by increasing its thickness as well as lowering its thermal conductivity in the 'Material' section under the Surface Construction Elements list, but no matter what I change the values to, my output numbers are always the same. Am I not accounting for something? Or is it a case where the insulation values aren't actually affecting the results to a noticeable extent? The program runs without any errors, and I have tried changing the values by a magnitude of 100 but to no avail, any help is appreciated!
(The EnergyPlus version I'm using is v9.4.0)
Do you have non-zero end uses for heating and cooling, and have you confirmed that the construction you are altering is used by one or more surfaces in the building.
I have non-zero end uses, but I am unsure on how to check for whether the construction being altered is used by one or more surfaces in the building
