[EnergyPlus_Support] Standard 5-Zone template geometry?

["ruiigreja@xxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

According to this http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/energyplus_testing.cfm, EnergyPlus is tested based on ASHRAE's Project 865, Project 1052 and Standar 140.
But if I'm not wrong all of these are either analytical tests, or single Zone tests.

But the documentation says that there is a standard 5-Zone template geometry that can be used for testing by module developers ... and that the old 3-Zone model shouldn't be used.
Do you know where I can find some information about this standard 5-Zone template geometry?
Do you think it could be the geometry of 5ZoneXXXXX.idfs that are in the Examples folder?

I like like to do some experiments and comparisons, and I would like to use something standard but at the same time more or less realistic.

Thanks,

Rui
