Does this imply that each zone will require its own constructions with zone specific Area and Exposed Perimeter values? The Areas are autocalculated by energyplus anyway, but it seems the method does not support auto-calc fields and requires manual input. The exposed perimeter is a big problem. I don't know if eplus does or can calculate this and doing hand calcs will take ages.
