The convection type (laminar, turbulent or transitional) in the last column of the table is an indication for the wind situation near the surface of the cladding. It can be
possible that increasing the thickness of insulation can cause a change from laminar to turbulent convection. This can be a reason for increasing surface temperature
even if the insulation thickness is bigger than in the step before.

Info ATTENTION: You selected a cladding with an emissivity value > 0.05. This does not affect the heat loss but it results into 
relatively low calculated surface temperature. If the cladding is later on replaced by a more shiny material ike aluminum the 
surface temperature could exceed 55oC. Therefore please check/re-consider the design conditions.
