It is generally considered proper to keep this type of variable the same in both your proposed and baseline models if it generates an increase in the proposed building energy performance. The reason is that the rating methodology does not explicitly address how to make the adjustment. You could submit an exception calculation to claim the increase in energy performance so that the methodology, justification and savings can be verified by a reviewer. If the adjustment decreases the performance of the proposed design then I usually just include a sentance or two in the project narrative explaining what I have done and commenting that it negatively affected the results.
