Basic Envelope Change results opposite EUI results of those expected

This is a very basic question. I have two OpenStudio files. The only difference is one wall construction with a higher R value between the two. After running the simulation, the file with the higher R value in an exterior wall has returned a higher EUI. I can't find the issue. I've attached the two files. The ALt file is the improved wall construction with the worse EUI. Any ideas?

I have a link to Dropbox below. The Alt file has the improved Envelope.
