DOE prototype Midrise Apartment Water heater size

I loaded DOE prototype midrise apartment and I found that it's using 1150 gal electricity water heater, while highrise apartment is using 600 gal natural gas ones. It makes no sense cause midrise apartment has about 32 units and highrise apartment has around 80 units, and end use percentage by water system for midrise apartment is too high.

How can I fix that and is there any standards for that?
