[EnergyPlus_Support] Compare Single zone and multiple zones per floor

["obb" <sanphawat@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was testing follow you and Jason suggestion. I have created a simple box 3m x 3m, one zone per floor for 15 story as base model and to compare with multiplier model at mid zone. The heating and Cooling in both are almost the same. 

Once I did another model by creating multiple zones per one floor (15 story building) The result came out different way. I am talking about just Cooling and Heating trend. 

In Chicago , Heating dominant therefor I think trend should be Cooling (MJ/m2) < Heating (MJ/m2) as my testing model (one zone per floor, 3x3m.)But for multiple zones shows Cooling (MJ/m2) > Heating (MJ/m2).

Is there any consideration between one zone per floor and multiple zone per floor? Any thought
