<p class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Consolas"><span style="font-size:10.5pt">A
more accurate approach pertaining to solar gains would be to use separate
perimeter zones for each façade of the building. This may be required for your
baseline model if you are using Appendix G. (See Table G3.1.8.b)</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Consolas"><span style="font-size:10.5pt"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Consolas"><span style="font-size:10.5pt">If
this doesn’t apply, and you’re certain that the HVAC system is/will
be designed and controlled reflecting one zone per floor, you can make the
perimeter zone “wrap-around” the core. As another poster
mentioned, you can’t make it a “doughnut” shape. I’m not
sure if the wrap-around approach can be done in the wizard or not. You might
also approximate the situation by moving the new vertex off of the first vertex
just enough to make the program run.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Consolas"><span style="font-size:10.5pt">By
the time you did that, it would probably have been easier (and more accurate) to
make separate perimeter zones for each façade, which the wizard can definitely
do.</span></font></p>
