Attached garages that are not insulated are very energy inefficient, especially they'll show up as such if you have a nice warm car parked inside. Doors you can't do anything about, but a parked car inside poorly insulated garage will probably light the map up like a Christmas tree.

Could be a number of things. If you were away from on vacation and had the heat turned way down you would probably show up as fairly efficient from your heat map. Also depends on things like ventilation placement and how the plex is laid out. If all of your heat/exaust/vents are all clustered in one place on the roof/house, that unit will show up as extra hot.
Or your neighbours are all running grow ops. Keep in mind they were only doing this on one night.
I just noticed all the duplexes that my builder put up, including mine, are consistently leaking heat like crazy consistently across the board... Frick... I should get that checked out
