Those are the simple examples...<smile>

Actually, the example files are a combination of illustrative examples and 
to an extent "best practice" on showing a feature.  We have been trying to 
get them better documented and hope to have that accomplished soon.  Here 
are my attempt at "grouping":

1ZoneUncontrolled -- this is a really simple building, no floor, no 
roof.  Just 4 walls, basically.  Not really an attempt to show much of 
anything but can be used by someone who is compiling the code on their own 
machine.

5Zone<xxx> -- these all have the same floor plan and illustrate different 
features.  These are really quite simple with 4 perimeter zones, an 
interior zone, some windows and shading.

PurchAir<xxx> -- these all use purchased air as their heating/cooling 
supply but their floor plan is most likely the "standard 3 zone"

The rest (including 3zvent) have 3 zones -- most are an L-shaped building 
(3zvent is a square) with 2 equally sized zones on the South and 1 on the 
north.  Only 1 zone has a window.  The east and north zones are names "East 
Zone" and "North Zone".  The SW zone is likely named "Resistive Zone".  (It 
probably should be renamed SW Zone).

And from there are the examples.  e.g.
AbsorptionChiller -- is the 3 zone model and illustrates using the 
absorption chiller
Furnace -- is the 3 zone model and illustrates the Furnace
RadLoTempHydrHeatCool -- is the 3 zone model illustrating using the 
Hydronic Lo Temp radiant system for heating and cooling.

Oh yes, several of the input files have good comments at the top (all are 
supposed to) illustrating the features of that particular input file.

3zvent has excellent comments
LgOffVAV also has excellent comments

Hope this helps.
