Regarding the insulation thickness of pipes in 99R101, why is the insulation thickness required in winter lower than that required throughout the year?

In the design and construction drawings for the 99R101 coal-fired boiler room, regarding the insulation thickness of pipes, why is the insulation thickness required in winter lower than that required throughout the year? Heat loss is high in winter; shouldn’t the thickness be greater? ?
I’m sorry; I clicked ‘publish’ once and nothing happened, so I clicked it again, and as a result it was published twice. . . . .
Take a close look at the heat loss value on the far left side of the table; the calculations for these values are based on different criteria. The heat loss over the entire year is lower than that in winter, so the insulation thickness needs to be greater.
Heat loss is high in winter, so shouldn’t the thickness be greater? Why is it actually thinner?

This is not about whether heat loss is high in winter, as the calculation bases for the two tables are completely different. With different calculation bases, the data obtained naturally cannot be compared. PS: For both the whole year and winter, the ambient temperature used in the calculations is 20°C; it’s completely pointless to worry about the difference between the whole year and winter.
The cost of operating for half a year is lower than that for a full year, and the insulation material can also be slightly smaller
