The measure fails because of line 80 in this BCL measure "SetOutputTableToIPUnits" where "construction" is misspelled.
string_objects <<"
ComponentCost:LineItem,
#{used_construction_name}_TakeOff, !-Name
, !-Type
Constuction, !-Line Item Type
#{used_construction_name}, !-Item Name
, !-Object End Use Key
, !-Cost per Each {$}
.0000000001; !-Cost per Area {$/m2}
"
It's not relevant to the measure and seems like it was left in from hastily copied measure code.
Lesson - be careful about downloading measures on BCL if they don't have unit tests. Measures under the NREL and UnmetHours organizations are on GitHub and have testing/uploading procedures, so those are more likely to work consistently.
I have access to the organization that posted it, so I'll update the measure and repost to BCL.
