[Equest-users] Odd peak cooling day

[Arpan Bakshi]

Travis

With a 157' x 157' floor plate and a 12'-0" floor to floor height, you have
tipped your internal-external gain scale, heavily on the internal gain side!

Beyond load implications the building will provide no access to views or
daylight for most of its occupants.

Now if this is actually a cross-section of a tower you are simulating, than
you will want to make sure the first level does not have ground exposure and
the top and bottom slabs of the model are thermally inert.
