[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: What is the best modelling strategy ? I need help to clarify this issue!!!

Thanks again Jason, 
About match surface. I was curious that why you said match the [top floor] floor to the [ground floor] ceiling and the [mid floor] floor to the [mid floor] ceiling.

I thought [top floor] floor match to [mid floor]ceiling , and [mid floor] floor to [ground floor] ceiling. 

Could explain the concept behind?
