How detailed should I make my geometry?

I'm modeling a school building in sketchup to simulate in OpenStudio/Energyplus.

Is it feasible to model:

  • Every room?
  • A group of rooms?
  • just one or two big zones in the story?
  • Certain type of rooms?

Here are two of the floorplans of the building: https://imgur.com/a/U9t1OXv
