[EnergyPlus_Support] Strange impacts of changing Set point Tempratures

["abeermme" <abeermme@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I'm investigating the impacts of setting higher set point temperatures 
for cooling in an office space, for my surprise; the cooling loads 
increase when I increase the set point temperature from 23c to 24c or 
25 then  with 26 and 27c the relation is proportional (as expected), 
Isn't this strange as it's expected that when the set point 
temperature is higher, less cooling would be required (as it will be 
only required when temperature exceeds this set point temperature 
whose increase should consequently result in less cooling requirement)
So why isn't this occuring with the increased cooling set point 
temperature by only +1 or +2C???
Any possible reasons? or something wrong I've done??
Please help!..Your replys and comments are very appreciated
Thank you
Abeer
