Low Temperature Radiant Electric Systems

I used DesignBuilder software to model the building. Now I am trying to design an underfloor heating system “electrical system” for my building on the floor by using energy plus V8.1. I used the template of Low Temperature Radiant Electric Systems under “zone HVAC radiative / convective unit” to do so, I did not make any other change just I imported my IDF file from DesignBuilder to energy plus and use this template by adjusting the parameters as shown in the attached picture. From the result obtained there is no change in terms of temperature and heating energy. It seems as if the system is not working. How can I solve this issue?.
