I think there may be a couple of factors at play -
- the balconies shade the interior which would prevent solar gain
- the balconies, as constructed in Vancouver without a "thermal break", means that they emit heat from the building acting like a radiator fin
I like the look of the wrap around balconies, because it adds uniformity to the building and you can't see the spandrel.
