[EnergyPlus_Support] Heating and Cooling vs. U-value

[Vinay Devanathan <vinay.devanathan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Does a better (low U-values for construction assemblies) insulated envelope result in achieving - 

1. reduced cooling and heating loads (ideal)
2. reduced cooling, slightly higher heating load

Or are there too many variables to zero in on either of the above?

Hope to hear from someone.

Thank you.
