Problem with Open Studio results, zone air temperature

Hello UMHT Community,

I'm doing a two case study with two models where the thermal properties of the materials that are used for the construction sets are differents, one has insulation properties within the mortar that is used for the construction and the other model is just with plain mortar. When i run the model the zone air temperature for the spaces of my building without insulation is lower than the model with insulation, whereas the electricity peak demand is higher with the model without insulation and lower with the model with insulation properties. Could someone explain to me what is the problem in here ?
