John,
It's difficult to diagnose your issue without having the .inp and .pd2
files to review.
What do you mean by "more energy efficient"? If you are referring to
U-value, the result does seem counter-intuitive (unless the negative
result is actually a reduction in energy shown as a "negative"). If
however, you consider a reduction in the SHGC to be more energy
efficient, this may in fact lead to increased energy use in heating
dominated climates since less solar gain is available in the winter. As
I said, seeing the simulation would be helpful.
Cheers,

Good Morning,
My associate and I are beginners on the E-Quest program and are feeling
our way around the program. Among many other questions that we may have
we are in a quandry as to why, when we use a more energy efficient
window in the EEM module, the results show a negative effect in our
simulation. Is there some basic fundimental we,re missing here?
