[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: single zone building

In addition to Dru's comments, if there's significant unbalanced heat gains (from people, passive solar, equipment) in just part of the building, you may wish to subdivide accordingly. Using a single zone assumes that the air is perfectly mixed, and may fail to identify discomfort.
