I'm using the ComStock measures to create and execute OpenStudio workflows. I recently upgraded to OS_SDK_3.7 and the latest 2024_R1 release of Comstock.

When I use create_typical_building_from_model with the energy code template ComStock 90.1-2010 my workflow often (but not always) has a fatal error during the sizing run. I get this same error with all the building types I've tried, but only for the ComStock 90.1-2010 template.

"[openstudio.model.Model] The run did not finish and had following errors: CalcHeatBalanceInsideSurf: The temperature of 206584.81 C for zone=\"ZONE OFFICE WHOLEBUILDING - LG OFFICE B  - STORY TOP\", for surface=\"SURFACE 134\"  ..is very far out of bounds during warmup. This may be an indication of a malformed zone.   During Warmup, Environment=TULSA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ANN CLG .4% CONDNS DB=>MWB 1 HVAC Sizing Pass 1, at Simulation time=07/21 11:45 - 11:46\\nProgram terminates due to preceding condition."

I believe the root of the problem is create_typical_building_from_model cannot assign constructions to the surfaces. I get a similar error for every surface type. Here is an example:

"Using climate zone ASHRAE 169-2013-4C from user arguments",
               "DEBUG - Find objects search criteria returned no results. Search criteria: {\"template\"=>\"ComStock 90.1-2010\", \"climate_zone_set\"=>\"ClimateZone 4C\", \"intended_surface_type\"=>\"GroundContactWall\", \"standards_construction_type\"=>\"Mass\", \"building_category\"=>\"Nonresidential\"}. Called from :/ruby/2.7.0/gems/openstudio-standards-0.5.0/lib/openstudio-standards/standards/Standards.Model.rb:2715:in `model_find_object'.",
               "DEBUG - Find object search criteria returned no results. Search criteria: {\"template\"=>\"ComStock 90.1-2010\", \"climate_zone_set\"=>\"ClimateZone 4C\", \"intended_surface_type\"=>\"GroundContactWall\", \"standards_construction_type\"=>\"Mass\", \"building_category\"=>\"Nonresidential\"}.

Any suggestions?
