Even when the simulation fails, the .edd file will be produced which will list all the actuator variable names you can use (useful for the correct syntax) and the step by step results of the program as far as it managed to run. The .edd file is produced if you define the "verbose" commands as shown in the examples. Per zone you're looking at about 25 lines of code. If you let all windows open based on the temperature of one "worst case" zone, 25 lines will only be needed once. I would recommend starting with this.
