Every SFD in ResStock has a exterior door area of 20 ft2. @whiphi92 and I realized this turns out to be one door, which does not match our personal observations of SFD houses. I would guess 2-3 is typical.

This is minor, but it came up today when I was doing some postprocessing calcs for a C2C effort, and the calcs had "number of exterior doors" as an input.

If I remember right, 20 ft^2 was from like... SEEM, a model used in the Pacific Northwest? For a long time we didn't have doors at all, but they had it so Scott added them as a feature. I don't think there's any real intentionality or data source behind the 20 ft^2 number, so if you have any actual data for what to assume here it'd be really straightforward to update. Area is just being defaulted for now.

Here are the defaults in ASNI/RESNET 301 for the Reference Home:

Note that the area should only include opaque doors. Glass door area should be included with windows.
