[Bldg-sim] Modelling heating

[Joe Huang]

It all depends on which simulation program you're using, but all of them should be able to 
accommodate you very easily.  You can either set the Heating Schedule to be never on, and 
the Heating Setpoint Temperature to something very low, like 10 C (50 F).
