Energyplus: Can anyone suggest how should i start with this? Thanks

Hello, i start using Energyplus as modelling tool and would like to ask this, i need to calculate energy consumption at three floor house, Since every floor has the same number of rooms, should i consider only one floor in this software? should i divide that floor into thermal zones (for each room)? or should i think of the entire floor as a Zone1?

Every floor has 6 rooms

I am confused with the division of zones? how should i write it? should i divide each floor into 6 thermal zones? also with the vertex option? for what floor should i write the vertex?
