[BLDG-SIM] Gas Fireplace

[Chris Jones]

The tricky thing is the schedule of fireplace use.  Then you need to 
determine how much heat is transferred into the space versus how much 
goes up the chimney.  Then define a process load and schedule.  Set 
the sensible gain appropriately.  In the zone you need to define an 
exhaust fan, fan power and schedule to match the source use schedule.
