There is an even simpler solution to merging building geometries:
Open Sketchup twice:
Now apply COPY to the desired OpenStudio object (space, zone) in Sketchup#1.
Then apply PASTE in PLACE in Sketchup#2.
Now you have the desired additional space in your model (in Sketchup#2) and you only need to take care of adjacent surfaces (intersections, surface matching).

In the example displayed it only takes a simple move command (m) to get the spaces adjacent and to adjust the window at the west side wall.
FINISHED !
