<div>If I were in your shoes.... I would not still use the pertimeter zone method, unless my core zone had a depth from the perimeter of more than 25 ft.</div>

<div>For your model you need to think about the best way to divide your thermal zones for your project, if you can support your "method" with sound judgement & explanation for why your approach was taken or needed, then you are doing the best that you can as a good simulator.</div>

<div>When it doubt it is always, always best to zone the project the same way the HVAC designers zoned it. If you'd like more feedback or suggestions feel free to send your floor plans or eQuest file through and there are many of us that would be happy to make thermal zoning suggestions for your model.</div>

However i am building a core and shell model where the core/lobby on each floor is defined. it is still recommended to use the perimeter zone method in combination with defining the building core zones<br>
