Huy Tung,
   The typical method is to simply draw the one floor of the building 
that you care about. You then set the ceiling of the zone to be of Type: 
ceiling, Constuction: BND_CEILING,  Outside Boundary Condition: Other 
Side Coefficients, and Outside Boundary Object: BOUNDARY = IDENTICAL. Do 
the same for the floor but in this case the type should be "floor" and 
the construction should be "BND_FLOOR"

   What this does is to force the conditions above and below your story 
to be identical to those in your story. If the floors above and below 
have significantly different conditioning requirements than does the 
floor you are modeling you can choose a different boundary condition.
Kind regards,
  David
