Unexpected Increase in EUI with Higher Solar Reflectance in Shading Material – Seeking Insights

Hello everyone, @chris @MingboPeng @mostapha

I am conducting an energy simulation using Ladybug Tools and have encountered an unexpected result. When I increase the solar reflectance of the shading material, instead of reducing energy consumption, the Energy Use Intensity (EUI) increases. This outcome contradicts my initial expectation that higher reflectance should lead to lower cooling loads by reducing absorbed solar radiation.

I would appreciate any insights into why this might be happening. If anyone has experienced a similar issue or can suggest ways to analyze and interpret these results, I would be grateful for your input.
