There is not really any answer to your question. The way
that you zone a building depends on what you want to know
from your simulation. If you are combining a thermal and
airflow simulation of the building then you might treat
each room as its own zone. If you have a very large
building (such as a highrise) then you might treat every
floor as a zone or perhaps you might divide each floor
into a core zone and as many perimeter zones as there are
solar orientations. In between those two extremes, it is
not uncommon to choose thermal zones that correspond to
the HVAC zones of the building (areas that are controlled
by one thermostat).
If you are using Trnsys18 there is an extensive tutorial
in the .\Trnsys18\Documentation\ folder that will teach
you what you need to know to model buildings. If you have
Trnsys17 then there is a less extensive but still useful
tutorial in
..\Trnsys17\Documentation\A4_3DBuildingTutorial.pdf
