Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] one problem

["Michael J. Witte" <mjwitte@xxxxxxxx>]

Sorry it took a while to dig into the details here (with the help of another 
team member).  There are two key differences between the middle floor and the 
top floor.  The middle floor zones have infiltration and the top floor does 
not, but this is a very small impact.  The other difference is that the middle 
floor has nearly twice the glazing (window) area that the top floor has.  To 
confirm, I would suggest deleting some of the windows in the middle floor zones 
to achieve similar window areas and then check the comparison again.
