negative impact of demand control ventilation

Hello, I'm trying to model demand control ventilation in open studio but because CO2 levels and system outdoor air method cannot be adjusted, the outputs are not how they re expected. On the other hand, I tried to add those missing inputs in energy plus via idk editor but still dcv does not provide any energy savings. Even though fan consumption is decreased after implementing dcv, somehow heat rejection and pump energy consumption goes up so in total there is more electricity consumption observed. Is there a way to debug this problem?

Thank you Elvin
