Simulation result un-affected by choice of "fuel" for heating (DesignBuilder)

Hello everyone,

In DesignBuilder, I ran simulation several times using different fuel source (coal, electricity from grid, LPG), and my simulation result for both site and source energy is the same, is that normal?

FYI, I put in "GSHP with heated floor and natural ventilation" for the HVAC system in the house I modelled.

Would be great if someone could help, thanks!
