@rraustad's answer
...The problem here is that the last 2 versions of E+ no longer read the idd at runtime and changing these characteristics of objects in the idd does not take effect unless the program is compiled (i.e., you will not be able to correct it by only changing the idd). Compiling the program will create a new Energy+.schema.epJSON file which is read during program execution. The plan is to eventually remove the idd file and use only JSON format.
So looks like the equivalent of changing the idd file for ruby measures is not such an easy fix anymore.
