As I said above, adding a direct link to the measure on the BCL would be helpful. In this case, it's critical: there are actually two measures with the same name, and one of them has an error.

This measure is outdated (2015) and incorrectly checks if the surface is a Wall instead of a RoofCeiling: https://bcl.nrel.gov/node/82299

This measure is updated (2016) and correctly checks if the surface is a RoofCeiling: https://bcl.nrel.gov/node/82298.

The line in question is L154:

      if surface.outsideBoundaryCondition == "Outdoors" and surface.surfaceType == "Wall"

Initially this problem has been reported by Matt Steen on Github and corrected by David Goldwasser as highlighted here: https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio/issues/1596. This is the first thing that pops up when you google the name of the measure.
