Non-compliance in Climate Zones 4 and 5 is primarily the result of the unchanged sensible indoor load at the economizer condition, lower envelope conduction losses due to lower U-value requirements, and increased solar loads due to higher SHGC limits (compared with Climate Zone 3), not only preventing supply air temperature reset, but also raising the cooling tower load and approach at economizer conditions.
