Currentlly zone controls which actuate within a construction only
work for surfaces that face the outside or the ground.  The bookkeeping
is incomplete for injection of flux into a partition separating two  
zones.

There are two alternatives:

a) use the thin zone method which is demonstrated by the cellular_flh
     (cellular offices with idealized floor heating) exemplar.

b) associate a plant system component with the construction (which
     conceptually works, but there is not yet a clear exemplar  
explaining
     how this works).
