[BLDG-SIM] eQuest/baseline basics/ZONING, etc.

[K Emerson]

Check 90.1-2004, Table 11.3.1, No. 7 which discusses
HVAC zones.  "Where HVAC zones are defined on HVAC
design drawings, each HVAC zone shall be modeled as a
separate thermal block."  There are some exceptions
listed after this statement.  

Appendix G should be looked at in terms of enhancing
Section 11 rather than a stand-alone document.
