[Bldg-sim] Really quick question

[Cheney]

I guess it is because the lighting generates internal loads which will
benefit heating in winter. The reduction of lighting will reduce the
internal loads which is more predominant than the savings from infiltration.
Then you got higher gas requirement in your model.
