Description
The only reason the measure mentioned in this post isn't on BCL is because I thought it was really bad implementation for the user to have to type zone arguments as strings vs. picking from the model.
https://unmethours.com/question/1853/inter-zone-air-mixing/. I made it for RMI to use as is. Using the IDF file for the arguments isn't an option since the IDF hasn't been made at this point.
We keep coming up with reasons not to give an E+ measure access to the model, but I really haven't heard a good argument. OSM measures regularly have access to an outdated model but the world keeps spinning. @macumber @kbenne and @asparke2 what do you think. If this is a 5 minute code change it would be nice to have in 1.6.0, obviously if it involves much work at all we may not have time for it.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating how EnergyPlus measures receive arguments and whether they can access the model before the IDF exists; done requires an agreed design and verified support for selecting zone arguments from the model instead of entering strings.
