Unfortunately I think you are giving us too few details and asking too 
many questions at the same time. I suggest that you try to isolate the 
problems: 1st the difference in dehumidification between the West zone 
and the other ones, 2ndly the heating demand in summer (which could be 
normal), etc.
You could also try to show the problem in simpler cases (short periods, 
constant weather, no internal gains, no windows, etc.
There are many possible causes for what you are seeing, and I would bet 
that you will find the reason of most problems by yourself if you 
simplify your model and tackle the problems one at a time. You could 
also try another TMY2 file for a quick check.

If you are unable to find a solution, you can also send your input files 
(again, preferably simplified) to your distributor, since it is not 
always easy to guess what's happening from a few screenshots of the 
online plotter.

Kind regards,
