[Bldg-sim] Thermal Blocks in Multifamily Residential Buildings

[Jim Dirkes]

If an apartment has a single thermostat, then it makes no sense to model it
as more than one zone - because it IS a single zone.

“…happiness is the joy produced in us by truth. To be truly happy means
coming to know how things really are, experiencing …reality in its ultimate
root…
What matters more to one’s happiness than getting more freedom and power is
the end toward which we order whatever freedom and power we have. Unless we
order ourselves to the truth, more freedom and more power will bring only
more unhappiness, examples of which abound.
