    As the message states, if you want to calculate custom weighting
    factors, i.e., FLOOR-WEIGHT=0,  you have to input enough of the
    space surfaces as delayed surfaces.  It looks like you're modeling
    the walls and ceiling as "quick" surfaces defined only by R-value or
    conductance.  You have to model them as delayed surfaces with
    thermal mass, that means inputting them as LAYERS with material
    properties of thickness, conductance, and specific-heat. <br>
