[Bldg-sim] Azimuth in equest

[Joe Huang]

In eQUEST, there's a further nesting of the coordinates at the FLOOR level, i.e.,
     Building -> Floor -> Space
The FLOOR coordinates are particularly important, since the floor footprint (POLYGON = 
XXX, SHAPE = POLYGON) defines the origin and azimuth for the walls.
