Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: A question about ceiling height

If you're talking about some of our example files, that is -100 
meters.  Negative.

Therefore, EnergyPlus calculates the zone height and uses the calculated 
height in any calculations, as necessary.

Note, if someone put in 100 meters, the program would likely spit out a 
warning -- presuming that the calculated zone height would be significantly 
different.  On the other hand, one could represent a very tall building as 
one zone and account for all the thermal mass in the internal floors, walls 
differently.  So, 100 meters, while a bit odd, is not outside possibilities.
