Total energy consumption on BRUKL certificate has increased significantly

I've just upgraded my project and after re-running the PartL2 compliance calculation I note the Total Consumption on the BRUKL certificate has increased significantly. Why is this?

‘Primary energy’ is a new variable on the BRUKL Certificate and it not comparable to the ‘Total consumption’. You can enter the primary energy factor on the building details tab in Set Building & System Data, it is also mentioned in the release notes.

The factor is used when calculating the buildings Primary Energy Consumption for the Actual Building in accordance with paragraph 189 & 190 in the updated NCM modelling guide.
