OpenStudio has not yet wrapped the SurfaceProperty:OtherSideCoefficients or SurfaceProperty:OtherSideConditionsModel in the OpenStudio model object hierarchy so it is currently not possible to specify those boundary conditions for an OpenStudio model. I can understand that there may be confusion here because the OS:Surface object does accept 'OtherSideCoefficients' and 'OtherSideConditionsModel' for its 'Outside Boundary Condition' property. The best current workflow would be to write an EnergyPlus measure (that runs after the OSM is converted back to EnergyPlus IDF) which creates SurfaceProperty:OtherSideCoefficients objects, connects those to your schedules, and then loops through surfaces to connect them to the SurfaceProperty:OtherSideCoefficients objects.
