        You mention the use of "Real walls or <u><b>air walls</b></u>"

        for raising the issue once more, however I did not feel that the

              <p><font size="3" face="Arial">Zoning a building is still
                  an art form. There are very few papers that have
                  looked into this with any rigor.
                </font></p>
              <p> </p>
              <p><font size="3" face="Arial">In one thesis we did on the
                  Zachry building, which was the basis for the Predictor
                  Shootout I and II, we looked at 1, 2, 5 and actual
                  zoning on the building. What we saw was that, in
                  general, the centroid of the "cloud" of data points
                  remained about the same. However, the scatter in the
                  cloud became more  pronounced at we added more zones.</font></p>
              <p> </p>
              <p><font size="3" face="Arial">So, if all the zones in the
                  floor are being operated the same, I'd use 1, 2 or 5
                  zones per floor, depending on the functions of what's
                  going on in each zone. Real walls or air walls between
                  the zones usually get the job done.</font></p>
              <p> </p>
              <p><font size="3" face="Arial">The quickest way to get the
                  light and receptacle loads on a real building is using
                  "blink" tests, which can be done on a Saturday, with
                  walkie talkies, and a data logger on the
                  whole-building electric feed, possibly some sub feeds.
                  I first heard of this test from Todd Taylor at PNNL.
                  We've used it to help resolved motor loads, lighting
                  loads, receptacles, etc. Seems to work pretty well.
                </font></p>
              <p> </p>
              <p><font size="3" face="Arial">There are also several ways
                  to get the plug loads, including: by proxy, by
                  weather-day-type profiles, by daily readings, and a
                  method that uses an energy balance. The proxy methods
                  can use square proxies for for the occupancy based on
                  OLF/ELF ratios, the weather-day-type method was
                  something that I heard about from Don Hadley at PNNL,
                  later adopted by Bou Saada on the Forrestal building
                  and daycare center. The daily readings are just that,
                  read the main meter by eye, daily, especially during
                  weather independent times. The energy balance method
                  is documented in papers by Claridge et al. at the ESL.</font></p>
              <p> </p>
              <p><font size="3" face="Arial">There is also some
                  encouraging work being done by Abushakra and Reddy on

                  completion later this year. This is based on previous
