How do I model a cold dark shell for performance compliance?

I've got an winery with 9,500sqft of administration shell to be finished later as a T.I. with a small cellar break area to be completed with the process area. What is the proper way to model the occupancy of the shell area to show performance compliance?

How do I model a cold dark shell for performance compliance?

I've got an winery with 9,500sqft of administration shell to be finished later as a T.I. with a small cellar break area to be completed with the process area. What is the proper way to model the occupancy of the shell area to show performance compliance?

Is there a trick or special way to model "Unocupied Area" I continue to get a Zone Temp Set error?

I originally modeled the building in ENERGY PRO v6.5. and then brought the file into CBECC-COM. Energy plus is fairly new to me, however, I do intend to model all of my projects using it in the future. I am targeting 2015 T24 compliance, without LEED or other reach code.

Thanks,

Dustinl
