Unexpected results when adding water-side economizer to Data Center

I am trying to model a data center using the new ITE load added to v8.3 and wanted to be able to take credit for water-side economizer. I attempted to add water-side economizer based on the example file WaterSideEconomizer_Integrated.idf, but I get an increase in energy use. Click the following links to download the IDF file without water-side economizer and the IDF file with water-side economizer.

Should I use the NonIntegrated example file as the basis instead?
