'building heat load (coils+losses&gains)'

Hi All, I am having a project that is too large to handle in one single model and adopting a central cooling/heating plants system. Therefore, I decide to build them individually on different model for different area (e.g. Tower 1, Tower 2, etc.). And then put the cooling load and heating load to a model with only cooling and heating plant .

As I am trying to create a HVAC load profile, so I am assuming using the 'building heat load (coils+losses&gains)' and Building cool load (coils+losses&gains) (Btu/hr) from the Building-HVAC are what I needed.

However, the sum of the hourly 'building heat load (coils+losses&gains)' (Btu) doesn't seem to match with the sum of gas consumption (Btu) in the Monthly Energy Consumption by Enduse page. While the gas consumption is slighly higher than the sum of hourly load. What did I missed?

Thanks in advance!
