Zones are a special type of groups. The data structure is almost identical to a simple group, but the fact that it is a zone gives it special semantic meaning. The IFC model sets a special constraint on zones - only spaces can be grouped together using IfcZone. There is no limit to what zones can be, e.g. thermal zone, construction zone, apartment, fire zone. If we are implementing many different kinds of zones we need to define these types in the BLIS project. We can use the IfcZone.UserDefinedType to capture the type of the zone.
