It does not effect calories

Floors are counted using an altimeter. An altimeter is a sensor that calculates altitude based on atmospheric pressure and atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing elevation, so the it calculates elevation gain based on the reduction in atmospheric pressure. Your trackers register a floor when they detect continuous motion combined with an elevation gain of about 10 feet. Given the fact that 10 feet is an average between residential and commercial floor heights, although commercial floors in particular tend to be higher than residential floors.

It will add floors when it is windy or cold.

So, when I have not left the ground, have not climbed but a few household
stairs throughout the day, it is not windy, and it is not cold, why does
it say I climbed 80 flights?

I had the same issue on my old Versa, that I'd often get several hundred flights a day. 

Now with the latest system update I'm getting zero.

I believe it must account towards calories because with zero my daily average burn seems lower. When it was over counting my daily average was 7k calories min on a work day
