Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] WIndow-Wall Ratio

Thanks, Matt.
I recently diagnosed the error and realized that a number of internal surfaces were defined as external making the WWR lower.

The Zone Multiplier calculates the loads in the space, including the window, and multiplies it by the Zone Multiplier, so it's assuming the load from the window applies to all the zones in the multiplier.
