Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Uploading idf file

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

It is hard to answer your question, because I do not know what basis you are 
comparing to.  Some things I notice:

1.  This input file appears to model a single middle floor to represent several 
floors, but the zone multipliers are all 1.  So the loads only reflect a 
building with the area of 3 floors (not 7 or however many there are supposed to 
be).

2.  There are no internal gains (of course, this would decrease the heating 
loads).

3.  There is no ventilation air other than infiltration.  

4.  The south zones have large amounts of glass.

5.  The east and west ends of the building are buffered by unconditioned 
spaces.

Does this help?
