On the assumption that the dimensions are in metres and the floor height
is 2.5 m, I believe the specific cooling demand is over 48 kWh/m2/year.

That suggests that apart from any modelling issues, it's not a
particularly good building design. So I hope it's a historical example -
what are the actual values for the building?
