Buildings are entities in a model that can consume or generate commodities.

The ID number of each Building is unique and used for simulation.  The name is not used by the simulation engine, but should be used to give the object meaningful identification within the project.
The Commodity multiplier is the factor by which all metered demand and generation values are multiplied.  It can be used to represent a number of buildings, building size, building floor area, or any other measure of multiplier that governs all metered values.
