    <p>That is going to make life a lot harder. Trnsys16 did not have a
      3D graphical building interface for Type56. You have to define
      each surface of the building in TRNBuild and manually specify
      whether it is an external surface, a boundary surface, or an
      adjacent surface. Section 6.1.8 of 06-MultizoneBuilding.pdf is the
      only tutorial available on the Trnsys16 process to my knowledge.</p>

            <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>
            <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>
