There is an error in the IDD file which prevents the IDF Editor from 
allowing entries in this field.  You can add an entry by using a text 
editor and then re-open the file in the IDF Editor.  Or you can 
download a fixed IDD file from the EnergyPlus_Support Yahoo group.  
Login at groups.yahoo.com, select the EnergyPlus_Support group, then 
select "Files".  There is a revised version of Energy+.idd available 
which should fix this problem.  Download it and replace the file in 
your main EnergyPlus folder.

The zone multiplier function is not active in Version 1.0.0.023, but 
it will be available in version 1.0.1.  When it is available, you 
would describe one or more zone to represent a middle floor of the 
building, and then assign the appropriate multiplier to each of those 
zones to represent the total number of middle floors.  Since the 
ground floor and top floor see different loads, you would describe 
different zones for those floors.

A beta version of 1.0.1 is expected in mid-February 2002.
