Electrical equipment latent/radiant fraction heating impact

Greetings,

I'm fine tuning my residential home model, and I noticed something strange while playing with the radiant/latent fraction in the electrical equipment objects:

Adding latent and radiant heat to the object must contribute in reducing the heating load, but it seams to do the opposite, it increases the heating load and reduces the cooling load.

Am I understanding this wrong ? Thank you for your help !
