Minimum heat requirements

[guruocont]

I am kind of confused about the actual requirement in COBA or any related code for maintaining temperature in a single family house (I dont have access to the actual code yet). Is the requirement that a minimum temperature of around 68F be maintained throughout the house or is it more flexible allowing for multiple zones and having a min of one zone maintain the temp?

Thanks.. A.M.
