<p>There is not really any answer to your question. The way that you
zone a building depends on what you want to know from your
simulation. If you are combining a thermal and airflow simulation
of the building then you might treat each room as its own zone. If
you have a very large building (such as a highrise) then you might
treat every floor as a zone or perhaps you might divide each floor
into a core zone and as many perimeter zones as there are solar
orientations. In between those two extremes, it is not uncommon to
choose thermal zones that correspond to the HVAC zones of the
building (areas that are controlled by one thermostat). <br>

<p>If you are using Trnsys18 there is an extensive tutorial in the
.\Trnsys18\Documentation\ folder that will teach you what you need
to know to model buildings. If you have Trnsys17 then there is a
less extensive but still useful tutorial in
..\Trnsys17\Documentation\A4_3DBuildingTutorial.pdf</p>
