Design cooling load for radiant slab

Hello, I am modeling an active slab and need to determine the peak sensible cooling load. Currently, I am not including any ventilation, just sensible loads. In the output reports (i.e. Component Sizing Summary or "Peak Design Sensible Load" under Zone Component Load Summary), the reported peak loads match. However, when I look at the variables output for the design day condition (day and time) specified as peak in the output reports, the "Zone Radiant HVAC Cooling Rate" does not match. What is the difference between this value and the one reported in the output reports?
