"NR SBD Performance" calculation in Energy Pro

Hi all,

I have a technical question about Energy Pro specifically. Have anyone used "NR SBD Performance" Savings By Design non-compliance mode calc in Energy Pro before? I was trying to run Savings By Design calc to get the percentage of savings, but the result seems to be ridiculous. The results from "NR T24 Performance" calculation seems fine, it is showing about 15% better than Title 24 baseline, but the "NR SBD Performance" calculation results doesn't make sense to me at all, it became 28% worse instead. The fan energy use is ridiculously high.

I know that the Title 24 performance module uses CBECC-Com, how about SBD? The SBD only took 1 second to pop up the results for me..

Thanks for you help!
