My model has no effect of insulation on my energy analysis. Any idea why ?

Hello, I carried out an energy analysis of a 5 storey open-plan office and I changed the insulation properties of the roof and the exterior walls and ran energy analysis with the same HVAC system (Packaged Rooftop Heat Pump). I expected that I would get different heating and cooling loads because of the different insulation properties. I found that there was no change in the energy analysis. Can someone please tell me what I did wrong ? I followed everything in the tutorials found on the NREL channel on youtube. Also sorry for my bad english.

Kind Regards, RMAK

My model has no effect of insulation on my Openstudios energy analysis. Any idea why ?

Hello, I carried out an energy analysis on Openstudios (model was made in Sketchup) of a 5 storey open-plan office and I changed the insulation properties of the roof and the exterior walls and ran energy analysis with the same HVAC system (Packaged Rooftop Heat Pump). I expected that I would get different heating and cooling loads because of the different insulation properties. I found that there was no change in the energy analysis.
