You need to understand that heat rises in a building and the top floors do get hotter. The ten story building had no electricity last summer after the flood and the higher floors heated up much fater than the lower floors (which stayed pretty cool actually). After we got the AC going again it was quite cold until the building was re-occupied. Throughout I worked with the building engineers. I know what I'm talking about. Maybe we are looking at this problem in such a way that we are not looking at the same variables? My example is a real world situation that has proven itself to me over and over for the last 15 years. xponent Where Do We Vary Maru rob
