Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Modeling a part of building?

I see you have had other responses on this subject. I might add that you 
only have to model the zones in question and "correctly" select the 
outside boundary condition for the wall with missing zones on the other 
side. See the documentation for BuildingSurface:Detailed, Wall:Detailed, 
RoofCeiling:Detailed, Wall:Adiabatic, etc.

BuildingSurface:Detailed,
Obj:0370, !- Name
Wall, !- Surface Type
L_W4_Fire, !- Construction Name
g1, !- Zone Name
Outdoors, !- Outside Boundary Condition
, !- Outside Boundary Condition Object
